Power at a distance is a power indifferent to consequences.

Make two people proud: Your 8-year-old self and your 80-year-old self

- David Perell

A label is an approximation that you can tolerate

History may not repeat but it does rhyme

Art is not luxury, its sustenance.

Ethan Hawke - TED Talk on creativity

The human mind, once stretched to a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions

Oliver Wendell Holmes

One can fight evil but against stupidity one is helpless. … I have accepted the fact, hard as it may be, that human beings are inclined to behave in ways that would make animals blush.

The ironic, the tragic thing is that we often behave in ignoble fashion from what we consider the highest motives. The animal makes no excuse for killing his prey; the human animal, on the other hand, can invoke God’s blessing when massacring his fellow men. He forgets that God is not on his side but at his side

Henry Miller

All your stuff used to be money.

All your money used to be time.

Things are no longer priced at what people can afford to pay, but what people can afford to borrow.
