“Rest is prior to motion and stillness prior to action.”
Arianna Huffington, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder

Maria Montessori
“Who has ever heard of any ministry of education that is called upon to solve any social problem acutely felt in the country? Never has such a case occurred because the world of education is a sort of retreat where the individuals, for the whole of their scholastic life, remain isolated from the problems of the world.”

Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

Ivan Turgenev
“Turgenev's brain was found to be one of the largest on record for neurologically typical individuals, weighing 2012 grams.”
Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, Fathers and Sons-Original Edition

Yuval Noah Harari
“Medieval crusaders believed that God and heaven provided their lives with meaning; modern liberals believe that individual free choices provide life with meaning. They are all equally delusional.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow
