“We human beings are not hive animals. We aren’t like bees or ants who just work constantly for the good of the community.”
― Alexander Zenon, The Stoic Handbook: A Practical Guide for Modern Life

“To the Stoics, a good life meant living in accordance with nature, both universal nature – accepting the world for what it is, not resisting it because we think it should be different – and our own nature as human beings.”
― Alexander Zenon, The Stoic Handbook: A Practical Guide for Modern Life

“Humans are not made for sitting at a desk all day. We have been evolving for millions of years to hunt animals through dense forest and vast plains. To walk huge distances in search of water. To spend hours searching for edible fruit to bring home to our families. The sedentary lifestyle many of us lead these days is no more than a by-product of the last few centuries.”
― Alexander Zenon

“The events that may befall you tomorrow are not new or novel, and the emotions that you will experience have been felt by countless others throughout the crashing torrent of time.

They survived. Why can’t you?”
― Alexander Zenon
