“I won’t just have a job; I’ll have a calling. I’ll challenge myself every day. When I get knocked down, I’ll get back up. I may not be the smartest person in the room, but I’ll strive to be the grittiest.”
― Angela Duckworth, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

“Why are you not smarter? It's only the rich who can't afford to be smart. They're compromised. They got locked years ago into privilege. They have to protect their belongings. No one is meaner than the rich. Trust me. But they have to follow the rules of their shitty civilised world. They declare war, they have honour, and they can't leave. But you two. We three. We're free.”
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

“If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“I understood for the first time that I didn't understand what I thought I understood”
