Matt Haig
“Never underestimate the big importance of small things”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Oliver Burkeman
“mortality makes it impossible to ignore the absurdity of living solely for the future.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Rachel Hollis
“You're afraid that you suck.

And - at least if you never try - no one (especially you) will be able to confirm that.


Spoiler alert: This kind of thought doesn't come from an underachiever who's not good at anything.
This kind of thought comes from a perfectionist.

And truthfully? It's lame.



There's so much incredible potential in you. But you're going to squander it because trying may or may not confirm that you're not as good as you thought you were.

Stop being so hard on yourself!”
Rachel Hollis, Girl, Stop Apologizing: A Shame-Free Plan for Embracing and Achieving Your Goals

Henry David Thoreau
“Das Wahlergebnis ist daher nie mehr als eine Zweckmäßigkeit.
Selbst für das Rechte zu stimmen bedeutet nichts dafür zu tun.
Es zeigt anderen Gegenüber nur den schwachen Wunsch, dass es vorherrschen möge.

Ein weiser Mann wird das Rechte nicht der Gnade des Zufalls überlassen. Noch wird er wünschen, dass es sich durch die Kraft der Mehrheit durchsetzt.
Es ist nur wenig Tugend in der Handlung der Vielen.
[...] Nur dessen Stimme kann die Abschaffung der Sklaverei beschleunigen, der seine eigene Freiheit dafür auf’s Spiel setzt.”
Henry David Thoreau, Über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat

Oliver Burkeman
“how normal it has become to feel as though you absolutely must do more than you can do.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
