“Some were taking this or that nervine cure-all, but the best nervine for a man who is not absolutely past repair, is to break away entirely from his calling or greed and camp out on the sea shore...and patiently wait for the return of good health." James Bradley”
Jennifer Michael Hecht, The Happiness Myth: Why What We Think Is Right Is Wrong

Jennifer Michael Hecht
“A lot of campaigning for food purity is a translated worry about abundance. You still eat your fill, but you agonize over the food's contents. We are a pack of animals that allows some to have excess food while others starve. Those who have so much get finicky about what is good to eat; they become obsessed by it, re-creating scarcity for themselves so as to not feel guilty, confused, or dangerously envied.”
Jennifer Michael Hecht, The Happiness Myth: Why What We Think Is Right Is Wrong

“Little boxes on the hill side, little boxes made of ticky tacky.
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky, and they all look just the same.”
Malvina Reynolds

“The reason that kids need to learn to read so early in school is because in school kids read about doing stuff instead of doing stuff. When kids live life outside of school they actually get to do stuff, so it’s not as important to read about it in order to learn.”
Linda Nielson

“There are no lazy people, only people pressured to do someone else’s idea of a good life.”
Penelope Trunk, For the Soul Searcher
