Jim Al-Khalili
“He who is most content with the least has the most,” and “I know nothing, except the fact of my ignorance.”
Jim Al-Khalili, Paradox: The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics

Madeline Miller
“My dear, they must always offer something, even if it is small, even if only wine poured at your spring, else they will forget to be grateful, after.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

Cal Newport
“the practice of giving of your time and attention, without expectation of something in return, as a key strategy in professional advancement.”
Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

Brad Stone
“Every interesting thing I’ve ever done, every important thing I’ve ever done, every beneficial thing I’ve ever done, has been through a cascade of experiments and mistakes and failures,”
Brad Stone, Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire

Cal Newport
“Ironically, jobs are actually easier to enjoy than free time, because like flow activities they have built-in goals, feedback rules, and challenges, all of which encourage one to become involved in one’s work, to concentrate and lose oneself in it. Free time, on the other hand, is unstructured, and requires much greater effort to be shaped into something that can be enjoyed.”
Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World
