Leo Tolstoy
“Женитьба… так нечаянно, и разочарование, и запах изо рта жены, и чувственность, притворство! И эта мертвая служба, и эти заботы о деньгах, и так год, и два, и десять, и двадцать – и все то же. И что дальше, то мертвее. Точно равномерно я шел под гору, воображая, что иду на гору. Так и было.

Leo Tolstoy

Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Martin Lindstrom
“In a surprising 2008 study, researchers at the University of Bath, UK, found that the fear of failure drives consumers far more than the promise of success; the latter oddly tends to paralyze us, while the former spurs us on (and pries open our wallets).

Paul Tough
“The problem, as Randolph has realized, is that the best way for a young person to build character is for him to attempt something where there is a real and serious possibility of failure. In a high-risk endeavor, whether it’s in business or athletics or the arts, you are more likely to experience colossal defeat than in a low-risk one—but you’re also more likely to achieve real and original success. “The idea of building grit and building self-control is that you get that through failure,” Randolph explained.”
Paul Tough, How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character

“The point is that the overwhelming energy cost associated with food is not in the food itself (the 2,000 food calories a day per person) but in its production, transportation, distribution, and marketing through the supply chain from farms to stores to your house and ultimately to your mouth.”
Geoffrey West, Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life, in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and Companies
