“The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

“We insist on being Someone, with a capital S. We get security from defining ourselves as worthless or worthy, superior or inferior. We waste precious time exaggerating or romanticizing or belittling ourselves with a complacent surety that yes, that’s who we are. We mistake the openness of our being—the inherent wonder and surprise of each moment—for a solid, irrefutable self. Because of this misunderstanding, we suffer.”
― Pema Chödrön, The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times

“Meditation is a way to be narcissistic without hurting anyone”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms
