"I decided to start from scratch, read it more carefully, and reading references mentioned in the book. I just realized Dostoevsky is actually mocking his younger self (pre-prison era)." Aug 23, 2025 03:21PM

Daniel Kahneman
“Our comforting conviction that the world makes sense rests on a secure foundation: our almost unlimited ability to ignore our ignorance.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

Søren Kierkegaard
“One can very well eat lettuce before its heart has been formed; still, the delicate crispness of the heart and its lovely frizz are something altogether different from the leaves. It is the same in the world of the spirit. Being too busy has this result: that an individual very, very rarely is permitted to form a heart; on the other hand, the thinker, the poet, or the religious personality who actually has formed his heart, will never be popular, not because he is difficult, but because it demands quiet and prolonged working with oneself and intimate knowledge of oneself as well as a certain isolation.”
Soren Kierkegaard

Atul Gawande
“You may not control life's circumstances, but getting to be the author of your life means getting to control what you do with them.”
Atul Gawande, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End

Søren Kierkegaard
“People settle for a level of despair they can tolerate and call it happiness.”
Søren Kierkegaard

Oliver Sacks
“If we wish to know about a man, we ask 'what is his story--his real, inmost story?'--for each of us is a biography, a story. Each of us is a singular narrative, which is constructed, continually, unconsciously, by, through, and in us--through our perceptions, our feelings, our thoughts, our actions; and, not least, our discourse, our spoken narrations. Biologically, physiologically, we are not so different from each other; historically, as narratives--we are each of us unique.”
Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales
