“When people consult me, it’s not that I’m reading the future; I am guessing at the future. The future belongs to God, and it is only he who reveals it, under extraordinary circumstances. How do I guess at the future? Based on the omens of the present. The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

― Jason Fried, ReWork

“It’s why we like real flowers that wilt, not perfect plastic ones that never change.”
― Jason Fried, ReWork

“What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original.”
