“I find myself a powerful monarch, the shadow of G-d on earth. I have seen that he bestows the blessings of his gracious providence upon all his creatures without distinction…. With all of the human race, with all of G-ds creatures I am at peace: why then should I permit myself to be the cause of molestation or aggression to any one?”

“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.”

“It’s one that is stripped of the unnecessary, to
make room for that which gives you joy.
It’s a removal of clutter in all its forms,
leaving you with peace and freedom and
lightness.
A minimalist eschews the mindset of more, of
acquiring and consuming and shopping, of
bigger is better, of the burden of stuff.
A minimalist instead embraces the beauty of
less, the aesthetic of spareness, a life of
contentedness in what we need and what
makes us truly happy.
A minimalist realizes that acquiring stuff
doesn’t make us happy. That earning more
and having more are meaningless. That
filling your life with busy-ness and
freneticism isn’t desirable, but something to
be avoided.
A minimalist values quality, not quantity, in
all forms.”
