Kelly McGonigal
“The biggest enemies of willpower: temptation, self-criticism, and stress. (...) these three skills —self-awareness, self-care, and remembering what matter most— are the foundation for self-control.”
Kelly McGonigal, The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It

Friedrich Nietzsche
“They fear their higher self, because when it speaks, it speaks demandingly.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
