“Darum glaube nicht / daß du im Guten zugenommen habest / wenn du nicht im Gefühl deines Geringseins unter alle übrigen Menschen dich setzen kannst.”
― Thomas von Kempen, Die Nachfolge Christi

“Do you know why books such as this are so important? They have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me, it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You'd find life under the glass screaming past an infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper the more literary you are. That's my definition anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“You can't build a house without nails and wood. If you don't want a house built, hide the nails and wood. If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides of a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.”
― Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win
