“The native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.”

“We become convinced that everyone around us is concerned with the minutiae of our lives. In a number of decades, you will be gone. Your home will be sold to a new family, your job will be taken by someone else, your kids will be adults, your work will be done....Nobody is thinking about you in the way they are thinking about you, they are only thinking of themselves.”
― Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

“Most men would rather die than think. Many do.”
― Bertrand Russell
