Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“The irony of the process of thought control: the more energy you put into trying to control your ideas and what you think about, the more your ideas end up controlling you.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

J.D. Salinger
“I don't know what good it is to know so much and be smart as whips and all if it doesn't make you happy.”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Marie Curie
“Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.”
Marie Curie

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

Rollo May
“Another root of our malady is our loss of the sense of the worth and dignity of the human being. Nietzsche predicted this when he pointed out that the individual was being swallowed up in the herd, and that we were living by a “slave-morality.” Marx also predicted it when he proclaimed that modern man was being “de-humanized,” and Kafka showed in his amazing stories how people literally can lose their identity as persons.”
Rollo May, Man's Search for Himself
