― Benjamin Franklin

“I did not bow down to you, I bowed down to all the suffering of humanity.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“The best way to verify that you are alive is by checking if you like variations. Remember that food would not have a taste if it weren’t for hunger; results are meaningless without effort, joy without sadness, convictions without uncertainty, and an ethical life isn’t so when stripped of personal risks.”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder

“Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel!”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
