George Orwell
“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”
George Orwell, 1984

Malcolm Gladwell
“The lesson here is very simple. But it is striking how often it is overlooked. We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth. We look at the young Bill Gates and marvel that our world allowed that thirteen-year-old to become a fabulously successful entrepreneur. But that's the wrong lesson. Our world only allowed one thirteen-year-old unlimited access to a time sharing terminal in 1968. If a million teenagers had been given the same opportunity, how many more Microsofts would we have today?”
Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success

Seneca
“If you live in harmony with nature you will never be poor; if you live according what others think, you will never be rich.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Twyla Tharp
“Before you can think out of the box, you have to start with a box”
Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life

Robin Sharma
“investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. it will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.”
Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams and Reaching Your Destiny
