Arthur Schopenhauer
“Thus the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“That's what I do.
I drink, and I know things”
― Tyrion Lannister

Liane Moriarty
“As man imagines himself to be, so shall he be, and he is that which he imagines.” So said Paracelsus in the fifteenth century. The idea of the power of the mind is not new, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning.”
― Liane Moriarty, The Hypnotist's Love Story

Herbert A. Simon
“In an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”
― Herbert A. Simon

“Around this time Jon wrote Full Catastrophe Living – the title is based on Alexis Zorbas in the film Zorba the Greek, played by Anthony Quinn, who says: ‘Am I not a man? And is a man not stupid? I’m a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe!”
― Patrizia Collard, The Little Book of Mindfulness: 10 minutes a day to less stress, more peace
