William James
“Habit simplifies our movements, makes them accurate, and diminishes fatigue.”
William James

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“But when we create our own God and our own world, what we are really doing is to deify our own lust. We are then bound to hate our fellow-men, as obstacles standing in the way of our wills.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Cal Newport
“This is what ultimately matters: where you end up, not the speed at which you get there, or the number of people you impress with your jittery busyness along the way.”
Cal Newport, Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout

Cal Newport
“We've become so used to the idea that the only reward for getting better is moving toward higher income and increased responsibilities that we forget that the fruits of pursuing quality can also be harvested in the form of a more sustainable lifestyle.”
Cal Newport, Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout

“For Augustine, the human will is always moved in one direction or another by the object of its love. In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were capable of moving either toward the love of God (amor Dei), or away from God and toward the love of self (amor sui). When they chose the latter, something disastrous happened both for them and for all their human descendents. Their free will was left intact in the sense that it was still they who acted and loved, and they who were therefore morally responsible for what they did; however, their free will was so distorted by sin that it was drawn away from the love of God, the true purpose for which they had been created. Now it was pulled in its innermost desires toward the love of self. In other words, human free will was so weakened by sin and the fall that it became "curved in on itself" (incurvatus in se).”
Timothy George, Amazing Grace: God's Pursuit, Our Response
