Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“If you have more than one reason to do something (choose a doctor or veterinarian, hire a gardener or an employee, marry a person, go on a trip), just don’t do it. It does not mean that one reason is better than two, just that by invoking more than one reason you are trying to convince yourself to do something. Obvious decisions (robust to error) require no more than a single reason.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Roman Payne
“Wandering is the activity of the child, the passion of the genius; it is the discovery of the self, the discovery of the outside world, and the learning of how the self is both "at one with" and "separate from" the outside world. These discoveries are as fundamental to the soul as "learning to survive" is fundamental to the body. These discoveries are essential to realizing what it means to be human. To wander is to be alive.”
Roman Payne, The Love of Europa: Limited Time Edition

Virgil
“Death twitches my ear;
'Live,' he says...
'I'm coming.”
Virgil

Ludwig van Beethoven
“Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.”
Ludwig van Beethoven

“You can dance through any storm if thunder is music to your ears.”
Matshona Dhliwayo
