“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
