Alain de Botton
“What is so frightening is the extent to which we may idealize others when we have such trouble tolerating ourselves”
Alain de Botton, Essays In Love

Milton Friedman
“Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable.”
Milton Friedman

Joseph Conrad
“We live as we dream - alone. While the dream disappears, the life continues painfully.”
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Cat Cora
“Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure—they can be turned into wisdom.”
Cat Cora

Desmond Tutu
“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument."

[Address at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Houghton, Johannesburg, South Africa, 23 November 2004]”
Desmond Tutu
