“It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement.

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs, therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity or undue depression in adversity.”
― Isocrates

“Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“I've never been a coward at heart, although I've always been a coward in action”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“Beneath the dream of fame, another dream, a dream of no longer dissolving and staying dissolved in the grey, faceless and insipid mass of commodities, a dream of turning into a notable, noticed and coveted commodity, a talked about commodity, a commodity standing out from the mass of commodities, a commodity impossible to overlook, to deride, to be dismissed. In a society of consumers, turning into a desirable commodity is the stuff of which dreams, and fairy tales, are made.”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Consuming Life
