Book cover for The Meditations (Stoic Philosophy #2)
Rationality is the quality of seeing past appearances to discern the true nature of things. We call a person rational who is evenhanded and unprejudiced. Equanimity means the calm acceptance of all that exists and all that happens. ...more

“I felt comfortable in a community that existed just for the moment, with simple, temporary relationships uncomplicated by past or future.”
Shoji Morimoto, Rental Person Who Does Nothing

Emily Henry
“Until you got here,” he rasps, “all this place had ever been was a reminder of the ways I was a disappointment, and now you’re here, and—I don’t know. I feel like I’m okay. So if you’re the ‘wrong kind of woman,’ then I’m the wrong kind of man.”

I can see all of the shades of him at once. Quiet, unfocused boy. Precocious, resentful preteen. Broody high schooler desperate to get out. Sharp-edged man trying to fit himself back into a place he never belonged to begin with.

That’s the thing about being an adult standing beside your childhood race car bed. Time collapses, and instead of the version of you you’ve built from scratch, you’re all the hackneyed drafts that came before, all at once.”
Emily Henry, Book Lovers

Hiro Arikawa
“My story will be over soon. But it's not something to be sad about.

As we count up the memories from one journey, we head off on another.

Remembering those who went ahead. Remembering those who will follow after.

And someday, we will meet all those people again, out beyond the horizon.”
Hiro Arikawa, The Travelling Cat Chronicles

Aviva Legatt
“Leadership means empowering others to be their best.”
Aviva Legatt, Get Real and Get In

Sebastian Junger
“We're all on the side of a mountain shocked by how fast it's gotten dark; the only question is whether we're with people we love or not. There is no other thing-- no belief or religion or faith-- there is just that. Just the knowledge that when we finally close our eyes, someone will be there to watch over us as we head out into that great, soaring night.”
Sebastian Junger, In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife
