Dante Alighieri
“Salvation must grow out of understanding, total understanding can follow only from total experience, and experience must be won by the laborious discipline of shaping one’s absolute attention.”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

Alvin Toffler
“Individuals need life structure. A life lacking in comprehensible structure is an aimless wreck. The absence of structure breeds breakdown.
Structure provides the relatively fixed points of reference we need. That is why, for many people, a job is crucial psychologically, over and above the paycheck. By making clear demands on their time and energy, it provides an element of structure around which the rest of their lives can be organized. The absolute demands imposed on a parent by an infant, the responsibility to care for an invalid, the tight discipline demanded by membership in a church or, in some countries, a political party — all these may also impose a simple structure on life.”
Alvin Toffler, Third Wave

Alvin Toffler
“It does little good to forecast the future of semiconductors or energy, or the future of the family (even one's own family), if the forecast springs from the premise that everything else will remain unchanged. For nothing will remain unchanged. The future is fluid, not frozen. It is constructed by our shifting and changing daily decisions, and each event influences all others.”
Alvin Toffler, Third Wave

James Thurber
“Lately, I have been wondering if there is time left for daydreaming in this 21st-century world of constant communication.”
James Thurber, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Hermann Hesse
“Writing is good, thinking is better. Being smart is good, being patient is better.”
Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
