“By mentally retracing our steps or ruminating on lost opportunities, we may try to rewrite the past to heighten our idealized self-image, but we might succumb to useless suffering from pride and vanity. ("Esprit d’escalier" - " Staircase Wit")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“If we are placed under the focus of collective scrutiny, our experience of mortality makes life fragile and intensifies the existential burden. It is not essential to avoid death or lament its inescapability but to embrace the absurdity and keep living fully, searchingly, or joyfully despite its incongruity. ("Living on probation")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“We can build up a significant life story of our own and enjoy the richness and depth of its plot if we don’t want to surrender to external forces to shape our lives and don’t yield to a lack of mindpower. ("Everybody his story")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Finding a balance between living in the present and planning for the future is a key to navigating uncertainty. It's about aligning our mindset with the understanding that expectations and strategies should be adaptable and fluid, not rigid or dogmatic. ("Life had taken them by Surprise “)”
