Bryant McGill
“Carefully analyze the old stories that you choose to perpetually tell, for these are really life-long meditations.”
Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

“My thoughts are not simply 'messed up' and waiting to be straightened out by learned doctors; they've already been analysed, every step of the way. I live with an internal philosophy lecturer allowing me to take nothing at face value, forcing me to question everything, casting doubt on all aspects of my human condition.”
Stephen Mullaney-Westwood, Paradise Shift
