The journey to happiness involves finding the courage
to go down into ourselves and take the responsibility for what's there:
all of it.

Richard Rohr

"Once the mind has been stretched by a new idea, it will never again return to its original size."

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Leonard Cohen

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

Albert Camus

When I look over the books I have written, I know exactly which parts I understood
and which parts I did not understand when I wrote them.
The poorly understood parts sound scientific.
When I barely understood something, I kept it in scientific jargon.
When I really comprehend it, I was able to explain it to anyone in language
they understood (...)
Understanding evolves through three phases: simplistic, complex,
and profoundly simple.

W. Schutz

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

Objectivity is a subject's delusion that observing can be done without him.

Heinz von Foerster

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success; we often discover
what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a
mistake never made a discovery.

Samuel Smiles

Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.

Ken Keyes Jr

Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future.
