Seneca
“We ought not, therefore, to give over our hearts for good to any one part of the world. We should live with the conviction: 'I wasn‟t born for one particular corner: the whole world‟s my home country.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Seneca
“Where you arrive does not matter as much as what sort of person you are when you arrive there.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“The mind is inclined to zoom in on your problem, or few problems, to an extend that you cannot see your many blessings.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Questioning our own motives, and our own process, is critical to a skeptical and scientific outlook. We must realize that the default mode of human psychology is to grab onto comforting beliefs for purely emotional reasons, and then justify those beliefs to ourselves with post-hoc rationalizations." - Steven Novella”
Steven Novella

“Behold the field in which I grow my fucks. Lay thine eyes upon it and see that it is barren. (anonymous twitter joke referenced in the book)”
Anonymous, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
