Carrie Fisher
“If you look at the person someone chooses to have a relationship with, you’ll see what they think of themselves.”
Carrie Fisher, The Princess Diarist

Morgan Housel
“At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have … enough.” Enough. I was stunned by the simple eloquence of that word—stunned for two reasons: first, because I have been given so much in my own life and, second, because Joseph Heller couldn’t have been more accurate. For a critical element of our society, including many of the wealthiest and most powerful among us, there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

Carlo Rovelli
“Albert [Einstein] was reading Kant and attending occasional lectures at the University of Pavia: for pleasure, without being registered there or having to think about exams. It is thus that serious scientists are made.”
Carlo Rovelli, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

“What we learn with pleasure we never forget.”
Alfred Mercier

Paul Kalanithi
“The main message of Jesus, I believed, is that mercy trumps justice every time.”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
