"Hatred of the bourgeois is the beginning of wisdom" - Gustave Flaubert

"The prospect of our own extinction (death) may draw us towards the way of life we value in our hearts"

"Concentrate your energies on those relationships which will best withstand the erosion of your standing"

"The ruling ideas of every age are always the ideas of the ruling classes"

See beauty in the everyday!

"Follow your internal conscience rather than signs of approval or condemnation from outside. What matters is not what we seem to a random group, but that we know who we are"; use reason to determine if it is a fair criticism of yourself if true it gives you an opportunity to act, if not reject the criticism and reaffirm your self-worth -> so simple, so obvious, yet so complex and difficult to think of

Don't know if I hate or love this book- it certainly shatters you into a million pieces!!!!
