“Memory is all about associations. Past experiences strongly influence what we see or feel.
Memories shape our current perceptions by causing us to anticipate what will happen next. Our past absolutely shapes our present and future. And it does so via associations within the brain.”
― Daniel J. Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson

“Consistency also teaches us that some things do not change, though we may wish they would. Not everything bends to our personal preferences.”

“Then I discover when you take a step forward, even a small step, the fear doesn’t exercise such a tight grip. It’s still there but it’s somehow reduced and you allow yourself to feel less of a helpless victim because ultimately it’s the sense of powerlessness that does you in.”
― David Park, Travelling in a Strange Land

“Morality doesn’t mean ‘following divine commands’. It means ‘reducing suffering’. Hence in order to act morally, you don’t need to believe in any myth or story. You just need to develop a deep appreciation of suffering.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

“Ω ναι, ξέρω καλά πως δεν χρειάζεται καράβι για να ναυαγήσεις, πως δεν χρειάζεται ωκεανός για να πνιγείς.
Υπάρχουνε πολλοί που ναυαγήσαν μέσα στο κοστούμι τους, μες στη βαθιά τους πολυθρόνα, πολλοί που για πάντα τους σκέπασε το πουπουλένιο πάπλωμά τους.
Πλήθος αμέτρητο πνίγηκαν μέσα στη σούπα τους, σ’ ένα κουπάκι του καφέ, σ’ ένα κουτάλι του γλυκού... Ας είναι γλυκός ο ύπνος τους εκεί βαθιά πού κοιμούνται, ας είναι γλυκός κι ανόνειρος.
Κι ας είναι ελαφρύ τό νοικοκυριό πού τούς σκεπάζει”
― Αργύρης Χιόνης
