William Zinsser
“Clear thinking becomes clear writing; one can't exist without the other.”
William Zinsser, On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction

Ted Chiang
“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
Ted Chiang, Exhalation

Dalai Lama XIV
“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.”
The Dalai Lama

Chris Matakas
“Relativity is a beautiful, irrifutable truth. We must acknowledge that wearing a black belt in jiu jitsu does not make you a black belt in life. In the home, there are black belts who are white belt fathers, and there are white belts who are black belt fathers. This holds true for all areas of life. A black belt does not mean you are successful in life. It does mean that you have mastered this art to an enormous degree, and that the skills you have acquired can be transmuted to a plethora of other activities. It does not mean, however, that you have done this.”
Chris Matakas, My Mastery: Learning to Live through Jiu Jitsu

Vince Flynn
“It was war, and in war the truth was almost always the first casualty.”
Vince Flynn, Executive Power
