Warren Buffett
“I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.”
Warren Buffett

George Orwell
“We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.”
George Orwell, 1984

“While we may think we know what we want, we’re often wrong.”
Aziz Ansari, Modern Romance: An Investigation

Jacqueline Novogratz
“They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I took mine and fell flat on my face. As a young woman, I dreamed of changing the world. In my twenties, I went to africa to try and save the continent, only to learn that Africans neither wanted nor needed saving. Indeed, when I was there, I saw some of the worst that good intentions, traditional charity, and aid can produce...

I concluded that if I could only nudge the world a little bit, maybe that would be enough.

But nudging isn't enough.”
Jacqueline Novogratz, The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World

Johann Hari
“The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety. It’s connection.”
Johann Hari, Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs
