Donald J. Robertson
“From the moment we’re born we’re constantly dying, not only with each stage of life but also one day at a time. Our bodies are no longer the ones to which our mothers gave birth, as Marcus put it. Nobody is the same person he was yesterday. Realizing this makes it easier to let go: we can no more hold on to life than grasp the waters of a rushing stream.”
Donald J. Robertson, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius

David  Lynch
“Ultimately, each life is a mystery until we each solve the mystery, and that's where we are all headed whether we know it or not.”
David Lynch, Room to Dream

James  Islington
“Grief, my mother once told me, is love’s most honest expression.”
James Islington, The Strength of the Few

Epictetus
“Remember, it is not enough to be hit or insulted to be harmed, you must believe that you are being harmed. If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation. Which is why it is essential that we not respond impulsively to impressions; take a moment before reacting, and you will find it easier to maintain control.”
Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness

Stephen Fry
“Gaia visited her daughter Mnemosyne, who was busy being unpronounceable.”
Stephen Fry, Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold
