Allie Brosh
“Most people can motivate themselves to do things simply by knowing that those things need to be done. But not me. For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it. If I win, I have to do something I don't want to do. And if I lose, I'm one step closer to ruining my entire life. And I never know whether I'm going to win or lose until the last second.”
― Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened

Michel Foucault
“Death as the destruction of all things no longer had meaning when life was revealed to be a fatuous sequence of empty words, the hollow jingle of a jester’s cap and bells.”
― Michel Foucault, Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason

“For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it.”
― Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half

António Damásio
“We are not thinking machines that feel, we are feeling machines that think”
― António R. Damásio

John Higgs
“Really it’s vanity to claim that land is your personal property. In a few hundred years you’ll be forgotten and the land will have shrugged you off as if nothing has happened.”
― John Higgs, Watling Street: Travels Through Britain and Its Ever-Present Past
