you wish to improve, be content to appear clueless or stupid in extraneous matters—don’t wish to seem knowledgeable. And if some regard you as important, distrust yourself.”

David  Wong
“And no one cares. You kick and scream and cry out into the darkness,
and no answer comes. You rage against the unfathomable injustice and two
blocks away some guy watches a baseball game and scratches his balls.”
David Wong, John Dies at the End

Matt Haig
“Remember no one really cares what you look like. They care what they look like. You are the only person in the world to have worried about your face.”
Matt Haig, Notes on a Nervous Planet

Michael Shellenberger
“nuclear has saved more than two million lives to date by preventing the deadly air pollution that shortens the lives of seven million people per year.”
Michael Shellenberger, Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All

Jennifer Shannon
“Intolerance of uncertainty: I must be 100% certain. Perfectionism: I must not make mistakes. Over-responsibility: I am responsible for everyone’s happiness and safety. These assumptions are impossible standards. The more we attempt to live by them, the more anxious we will be, and the less likely we will be to take the risks that are necessary to take in order to live freely and follow our dreams.”
Jennifer Shannon, Don't Feed the Monkey Mind: How to Stop the Cycle of Anxiety, Fear, and Worry

Daniel Kahneman
“It is wrong to blame anyone for failing to forecast accurately in an unpredictable world. However, it seems fair to blame professionals for believing they can succeed in an impossible task.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow
