Ben Macintyre
“In a craven and hierarchical organization, the only thing more dangerous in revealing your own ignorance, is to draw attention to the stupidity of the boss.”
Ben Macintyre, The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche
“Thought free wakefulness. Only a complete absence of thoughts can free us. We must achieve a state of wakefulness that is perfectly clear and thought free, for that no sort of meditation is going to be useful because there is nothing to keep in mind, nothing to focus on, and no word to direct our attention. So, give up the idea of meditation, and you will no longer be distracted. Thought free wakefulness dissolves the grip of our ignorant dualistic mind. Thought free wakefulness blows up the grammar of ordinary consciousness and goes beyond subject, object and action. Thought-free wakefulness cannot be grasped by thought. It is quite literally unthinkable. Still, we can train our consciousness to recognise it. Among the many technique we can use, letting our mind rest in uncontrived naturalness is one of the best.”
Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Sadness, Love, Openness: The Buddhist Path of Joy

Robert Iger
“You have to rely on your own internal threat-scale. There are drop-everything events, and there are others when you say to yourself, this is serious, I need to be engaged right now, but I also need to extricate myself and focus on other things and return to this later. Sometimes, even though you are in charge, you need to be aware that in the moment you might have nothing to add, and so you don’t wade in. You trust your people to do their jobs, and focus your energy on some other pressing issue.”
Robert Iger, The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company

Thich Nhat Hanh
“If the Buddha were to transmit his eyes to you, would you know how to use them? Don’t think that happiness would be possible only when conditions around you become perfect. Happiness lies in your own heart. You only need to practice mindful breathing for a few seconds and you’ll be happy right away.”
Thich Nhat HanhNhat Hanh, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation

Ben Macintyre
“It is perfectly possible for two people to listen to the same words and hear entirely different things.”
Ben Macintyre, The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War
