Timothy Ferriss
“Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.”
Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I just think of people," she continued, "whether they seem right where they are and fit into a picture. I don't mind if they don't do anything. I don't see why they should; in fact it always astonishes me when people do anything.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

Marguerite Yourcenar
“In fancy I took the simple decision of going on, this time on the mere trail to which our roads had now given way. I played with the idea...To be alone, without possessions, without renown, with none of the advantages of our own culture, to expose oneself among new men and among fresh hazards...Needless to say it was only a dream, and the briefest dream of all. This liberty that I was inventing ceased to exist upon closer view; I should quickly have rebuilt for myself everything that I renounced. Furthermore, wherever I went I should only have been a Roman away from Rome. A kind of umbilical cord attached me to the city. Perhaps at that time, in my rank of tribune, I felt still more closely bound to the empire than later as emperor, for the same reason that the thumb joint is less free than the brain. Nevertheless I did have that outlandish dream, at which our ancestors, soberly confined within their Latian fields, would have shuddered; to have harbored the thought, even for a moment, makes me forever different from them.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

Max Frisch
“Ich kann es nicht ausstehen, wenn man mir sagt, was ich zu empfinden habe; dann komme ich mir, obschon ich sehe, wovon die Rede ist, wie ein Blinder vor.”
Max Frisch, Homo Faber

Timothy Ferriss
“Doing something unimportant well does not make it important.”
Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek
