Thich Nhat Hanh

Dan   Harris
“Striving is fine, as long as it’s tempered by the realization that, in an entropic universe, the final outcome is out of your control.

Dan Harris, 10% Happier

John  Langan
“I know it’s not the darkest month, and I know it’s not the coldest or the snowiest month, but February is gray in a way I can’t explain.”
John Langan, The Fisherman
