Alain de Botton
“Don't despair: despair suggests you are in total control and know what is coming. You don't - surrender to events with hope.”
Alain de Botton

Robbie Ross
“It is a consolation or a misfortune that the wrong kind of people are too often correct in their prognostications of the future; the far-seeing are also the foolish.”
Robbie Ross, Reviews
