quote
“Ernest Hemingway wrote that happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing. However, if we are intelligent yet unhappy, then perhaps we are not intelligent enough. Socrates, Seneca, and Epictetus were intelligent enough to find happiness and contentment—even while drinking hemlock, cutting their veins, or living as crippled slaves.”

“Man uses action to keep away the wasps of thought and understanding. The man of relentless labour and business is the perfect escapist; escaping the world by diving too deep into the world.”

“Hatred is the mask of the inept.”

“By speaking with courtesy and respect, you are offering a wonderful gift to yourself, a useful embarrassment to the unkind, and a good example to bystanders.”

“The definition of the “ideal” philosopher, the sage? The seeker who knows a hundred reasons to be unhappy, but finds a thousand ways to be placid and content. She has the clarity of the scientist, the erudition of the teacher, the goodness of the saint.”

“There must be a difference between a Sisyphus who hurries to lift the boulder, despite knowing that it’s going to roll down again and a Sisyphus who – fully aware of this fact – prefers to take a nap or play with his kids before the next lifting.”

“We learn the world to better learn ourselves. And the better we know ourselves, the more we know the world.”

“To insist that we always prefer reality over delusion is to deny reality and indulge in delusion. Nature’s process of Evolution “wants” its beloved children alive, productive and successful, regardless of what is true or false, reality or dream.”

“To find a meaning or to create a meaning; there is no crucial difference as long as it takes away the unpleasant odors of the mortal existence.”
