Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jordan B. Peterson
“To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open. It means deciding to voluntarily transform the chaos of potential into the realities of habitable order. It means adopting the burden of self-conscious vulnerability, and accepting the end of the unconscious paradise of childhood, where finitude and mortality are only dimly comprehended. It means willingly undertaking the sacrifices necessary to generate a productive and meaningful reality (it means acting to please God, in the ancient language).”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Robert M. Pirsig
“We keep passing unseen through little moments of other people’s lives.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Donald J. Robertson
“From the moment we’re born we’re constantly dying, not only with each stage of life but also one day at a time. Our bodies are no longer the ones to which our mothers gave birth, as Marcus put it. Nobody is the same person he was yesterday. Realizing this makes it easier to let go: we can no more hold on to life than grasp the waters of a rushing stream.”
Donald J. Robertson, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius

Marie Kondō
“The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.”
Marie Kondō, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing
