The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Quotes

“It’s not uncommon now for books to be removed from a class’s curriculum for no other reason than that they made someone feel bad. Speakers and professors are shouted down and banned from campuses for infractions as simple as suggesting that maybe some Halloween costumes really aren’t that offensive.”

“Hay quienes sufren psicológica y emocionalmente por deficiencias neurológicas o genéticas, pero eso no cambia nada. Cierto, heredaron una mala partida y no es su culpa. No se le puede culpar de ser chaparro al tipo bajito por querer una cita. A la persona que le roban no se le puede culpar por haber sido asaltada. Pero aún es su responsabilidad.

“عندما تنهار الثقة، لا تكون إعادة بنائها ممكنة إلا إذا تحققت الخطوتان التاليتان : 1) اعتراف من خان الثقة بالقيم الحقيقية التي سببت ذلك الخرق وتحمل المسؤولية عنها؛ 2) تمكن من خان الثقة، عبر فترة من الزمن، من بناء سجل متابعة يشير بوضوح إلى إمكانية الثقة بالطرف الآخر مرة أخرى . ولا يجوز أن تكون هنالك أصلًا أية محاولة للمصالحة من غير توفر الخطوة الأولى .”

“لا يستطيع الناس حل مشكلاتك . وليس عليهم أن يحاولوا حلها لأن ذلك لن يجعلك سعيدًا . وأنت غير قادر أيضًا على حل مشكلات الناس لأن ذلك لن يجعلهم سعداء . العلامة المميزة للعلاقة غير الصحية هي رؤية شخصين يحاول كل منهما حل مشكلات الآخر حتى يكون مسرورًا من نفسه . وأما العلاقة الصحية فهي أن يحل كل طرف مشكلاته بنفسه حتى يكون شعور كل منهما تجاه الآخر طيبًا .”

“Once upon a time, there were two youngsters, a boy and a girl. Their families hated each other. But the boy snuck into a party hosted by the girl’s family because he was kind of a dick. The girl sees the boy, and angels sing so sweetly to her lady-parts that she instantly falls in love with him. Just like that. And so he sneaks into her garden and they decide to get married the next freaking day, because, you know, that’s totally practical, especially when your parents want to murder each other. Jump ahead a few days. Their families find out about the marriage and throw a shit-fit. Mercutio dies. The girl is so upset that she drinks a potion that will put her to sleep for two days. But, unfortunately, the young couple hasn’t learned the ins and outs of good marital communication yet, and the young girl totally forgets to mention something about it to her new husband. The young man therefore mistakes his new wife’s self-induced coma for suicide. He then totally loses his marbles and he commits suicide, thinking he’s going to be with her in the afterlife or some shit. But then she wakes up from her two-day coma, only to learn that her new husband has committed suicide, so she has the exact same idea and kills herself too. The end.”

“The first, which we’ll look at in the next chapter, is a radical form of responsibility: taking responsibility for everything that occurs in your life, regardless of who’s at fault. The second is uncertainty: the acknowledgement of your own ignorance and the cultivation of constant doubt in your own beliefs. The next is failure: the willingness to discover your own flaws and mistakes so that they may be improved upon. The fourth is rejection: the ability to both say and hear no, thus clearly defining what you will and will not accept in your life. The final value is the contemplation of one’s own mortality; this one is crucial, because paying vigilant attention to one’s own death is perhaps the only thing capable of helping us keep all our other values in proper perspective.”

― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

“El otro problema de sobrevalorar el éxito material es el peligro de priorizarlo sobre otros valores, como la honestidad, la no violencia y la compasión.
