Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“If you have more than one reason to do something (choose a doctor or veterinarian, hire a gardener or an employee, marry a person, go on a trip), just don’t do it. It does not mean that one reason is better than two, just that by invoking more than one reason you are trying to convince yourself to do something. Obvious decisions (robust to error) require no more than a single reason.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

M.J. DeMarco
“There’s a profound difference between interest and commitment. Interest reads a book; commitment applies the book 50 times.”
M.J. DeMarco, The Millionaire Fastlane

Marcus Aurelius
“The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. 21.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Jordan B. Peterson
“If you don't say what you think then you kill your unborn self.”
Jordan B. Peterson

Mencius Moldbug
“Cthulhu may swim slowly. But he only swims left. Isn’t that interesting?”
Mencius Moldbug, A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations
