Abraham Lincoln
“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”
Abraham Lincoln

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Pleasure and well-being is negative and suffering positive, the happiness of a given life is not to be measured according to the joys and pleasures it contains but according to the absence of the positive element, the absence of suffering.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, On the Suffering of the World

David Foster Wallace
“Think of the old cliché about “the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master.” This, like many clichés, so lame and unexciting on the surface, actually expresses a great and terrible truth. It is not the least bit coincidental that adults who commit suicide with firearms almost always shoot themselves in the head. And the truth is that most of these suicides are actually dead long before they pull the trigger.”
David Foster Wallace, This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life

Jean-Paul Sartre
“We are our choices.”
Jean-Paul Sartre

Alejandro Jodorowsky
“Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky
