“Passion typically masks a weakness. Its breathlessness and impetuousness and franticness are poor substitutes for discipline, for mastery, for strength and purpose and perseverance. You need to be able to spot this in others and in yourself, because while the origins of passion may be earnest and good, its effects are comical and then monstrous.”
― Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy: The Fight to Master Our Greatest Opponent

“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world.”
― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

“We must realize that even before the beginning of time and space, as we understand time and space, the Christ existed. The Son of God is not above the Father’s world; the Son of God is the created universe. It is the universe that comes into existence as an expression of God’s loving, creative and dynamic nature. We learn in Christian revelation clearly and without any ambiguity the nature of God.”
― A. William McVey, Existentialism and Christian Zen: An East/West Way to Christ
