Book cover for The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.

“How do you lose a word? Does it vanish into your memory, like an old toy in a chest, and lie hidden in the cobwebs and dust, waiting to be cleaned out or rediscovered?”
Amitav Ghosh, The Hungry Tide

Elif Shafak
“Funerals are for the living,”
Elif Shafak, 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World

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

Elif Shafak
“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

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
