“It doesn’t matter who or how many come at you, you have to be you. Confidently. Authentically. Bravely.”
― Ryan Holiday, Courage Is Calling: Timeless Stoic values from the multimillion-selling author of THE DAILY STOIC

“I thought: Suppose, suppose just once, once, all these centuries, the slippery gods keep their word and Achilles is granted eternal glory in return for his early death under the walls of Troy...? What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won't want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery. They won't want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won't want to know we were living in a rape camp. No, they'll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps? I just hope they manage to work out who the lovers were.”
― Pat Barker, The Silence of the Girls

“History is not a series of causes and effects which may be changed like switching trains on a track. It is a narrative agreement about what has happened and what is happening.”
― Kaliane Bradley, The Ministry of Time

“If it wasn’t scary, everyone would do it. If it was easy, there wouldn’t be any growth in it.”
― Ryan Holiday, Courage Is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave
