“Not to feel exasperated, or defeated, or despondent because your days aren't packed with wise and moral actions. But to get back up when you fail, to celebrate behaving like a human - however imperfectly - and fully embrace the pursuit that you've embarked on.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“We, the public, are easily, lethally offended. We have come to think of taking offence as a fundamental right. We value very little more highly than our rage, which gives us, in our opinion, the moral high ground. From this high ground we can shoot down at our enemies and inflict heavy fatalities. We take pride in our short fuses. Our anger elevates, transcends.”
― Salman Rushdie, East, West

“Never trust people who don't have something in their lives that they love beyond all reason.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown

“No point in being a grown-up if you can't be childish.”
― Terrance Dicks, Doctor Who and the Giant Robot
