“Does man not eternally create a fictitious world for himself because he wants a better world than reality?”
—F. Nietzsche, The Will to Power, §586 (excerpt).
“If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.”— Byron Katie
“So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don’t let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don’t force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way.”— Susan Cain
