“What was love if it wasn't nursing someone else's pain as if it were your own?”
Elif Shafak, 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World

Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
“One of the most ironic paradoxes of our time is this great availability of leisure that somehow fails to be translated into enjoyment.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Kai Bird
“No one can be certain of Oppenheimer’s reaction had he learned that on the eve of the Hiroshima bombing, the president knew the Japanese were “looking for peace,” and that the military use of atomic bombs on cities was an option rather than a necessity for ending the war in August. But we do know that after the war he came to believe that he had been misled, and that this knowledge served as a constant reminder that it was henceforth his obligation to be skeptical of what he was told by government officials.”
Kai Bird, American Prometheus: THE INSPIRATION FOR 'OPPENHEIMER', WINNER OF 7 OSCARS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR AND BEST ACTOR

Walter Isaacson
“जसं माझं वय वाढतंय तसा माझा ‘प्रेरणे’वरचा विश्वास वाढत चाललाय. मायक्रोसॉफ्टमधल्या लोकांचं संगीत आणि कलेवर आमच्याइतकं प्रेम नाहीये, म्हणूनच झून इतकं बकवास प्रॉडक्ट ठरलं. आम्ही जिंकलो कारण आमचं संगीतावर प्रेम आहे. आयपॉड आम्ही आमच्यासाठी बनवला आणि जेव्हा तुम्ही एखादी गोष्ट स्वत:साठी, जिवलग मित्रासाठी किंवा कुटुंबासाठी बनवता तेव्हा तुम्ही त्यात कुठलीही तडजोड करत नाही. जर तुमचं त्या गोष्टीवर प्रेम नसेल तर तुम्ही त्यासाठी जादाचे कष्ट घेणार नाही, सुट्टीच्या दिवशी काम करणार नाही आणि कुठलीही नवीन गोष्ट करणार नाही.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs : Exclusive Biography

Amitav Ghosh
“For the simple reason, Reid,’ said Mr Burnham patiently, ‘that British rule in India could not be sustained without opium—that is all there is to it, and let us not pretend otherwise. You are no doubt aware that in some years, the Company’s annual gains from opium are almost equal to the entire revenue of your own country, the United States? Do you imagine that British rule would be possible in this impoverished land if it were not for this source of wealth? And if we reflect on the benefits that British rule has conferred upon India, does it not follow that opium is this land’s greatest blessing?”
Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies
