Ryan Holiday
“For all species other than us humans, things just are what they are. Our problem is that we’re always trying to figure out what things mean—why things are the way they are. As though the why matters. Emerson put it best: “We cannot spend the day in explanation.” Don’t waste time on false constructs.”
Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph

Ryan Holiday
“If an emotion can't change the condition or the situation you're dealing with, it is likely an unhelpful emotion. Or, quite possibly, a destructive one. But it's what I feel. Right, no one said anything about not feeling it. No one said you can't ever cry. Forget "manliness." If you need to take a moment, by all means, go ahead. Real strength lies in the control or, as Nassim Taleb put it, the domestication of one's emotions, not in pretending they don't exist.”

Ryan Holiday
“We forget: In life, it doesn’t matter what happens to you or where you came from. It matters what you do with what happens and what you’ve been given.”
Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph

Richard Bach
“We are game-playing, fun-having creatures, we are the otters of the universe.”
Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

Ryan Holiday
“Failure shows us the way—by showing us what isn’t the way.”
Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph
