― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“Love and work are to people what water and sunshine are to plants.”
― Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom

“The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
