“My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Lay hold of to-day's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's.”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“That is the first question, isn’t it? Why do you resist greed and who is the entity that says, ‘I must be free of greed’? The entity that says, ‘I must be free’ is also greed, is he not? Up to now, greed has paid him, but now it is painful; therefore he says, ‘I must get rid of it’. The motive to get rid of it is still a process of greed, because he is wanting to be something which he is not. Non-greed is now profitable, so I am pursuing non-greed; but the motive, the intention, is still to be something, to be non-greedy – which is still greed, surely; which is again a negative form of the emphasis on the ‘me’.”
― J. Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom

“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.”
― Stephen Hawking
