Robert Greene
“Understand: your mind is weaker than your emotions. But you become aware of this weakness only in moments of adversity--precisely the time when
you need strength. What best equips you to cope with tthe heat of battle is neither more knowledge nor more intellect. What makes your mind stronger, and more able to control your emotions, is internal discipline and toughness.No one can teach you this skill; you cannot learn it by reading about it. Like any discipline, it can come only through practice, experience, even a little suffering. The first step in building up presence of mind is to see the need for ii -- to want it badly enough to be willing to work for it.”
Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies of War

Michael Bassey Johnson
“Seriousness is too boring to the playful human condition. A heart of stone that has a long face can never express love.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes

Ernest Hemingway
“You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”
Ernest Hemingway

Mario Benedetti
“Mi táctica es
mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos

Mi táctica es
hablarte
y escucharte
construir con palabras
un puente indestructible

Mi táctica es
quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos

Mi táctica es
ser franco
y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos
simulacros
para que entre los dos
no haya telón
ni abismos

Mi estrategia es
en cambio
más profunda y más
simple

Mi estrategia es
que un día cualquiera
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites.”
Mario Benedetti, Inventario uno: Poesía completa, 1950-1985

Celeste Ng
“Most of the time, everyone deserves more than one chance. We all do things we regret now and then. You just have to carry them with you.”
Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere
