Aesop
“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.”
Aesop

George Orwell
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
George Orwell, 1984

“Forget forever. It doesn't exist, anyway. As Eckhart Tolle also said, "It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living," and that's exactly what you're doing when now is swallowed by projections of forever. Nothing in the future exists yet. But anything is possible right now. Including the thing you think you cannot do.”
Laura McKowen, We Are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life

Eckhart Tolle
“The secret of life is to “die before you die” — and find that there is no death.”
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

James Baldwin
“People don't have any mercy. They tear you limb from limb, in the name of love. Then, when you're dead, when they've killed you by what they made you go through, they say you didn't have any character. They weep big, bitter tears - not for you. For themselves, because they've lost their toy.”
James Baldwin, Another Country
