“no reproach proceeding from men or gods can affect me: I have as good a conscience as if I had never existed.”
Emil M. Cioran, The Trouble with Being Born

Emil M. Cioran
“The things that we have expressed we believe a little less in. Why? Because they detach themselves from you. In that sense, really the fact of writing is a kind of profanation. Because the things in which you believe fully, from the moment you have said them, they mean less to you.”
Emil M. Cioran

J.L. Collins
“A parable: The Monk and the Minister Two close boyhood friends grow up and go their separate ways. One becomes a humble monk, the other a rich and powerful minister to the king. Years later they meet. As they catch up, the portly minister (in his fine robes) takes pity on the thin and shabby monk. Seeking to help, he says: “You know, if you could learn to cater to the king, you wouldn’t have to live on rice and beans.” To which the monk replies: “If you could learn to live on rice and beans, you wouldn’t have to cater to the king.” Most all of us fall somewhere between the two. As for me, it is better to be closer to the monk.”
J.L. Collins, The Simple Path to Wealth: Your Road Map to Financial Independence and a Rich, Free Life
