“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.”

“Love life more than the meaning of it.”

Fyodor Dostoyevsky book Los hermanos Karamazov

“Toxic positivity is a cultural force that reinforces: "If you believe it you can achieve it!" "The only thing in your way is you!" "The key to success is a positive mindset!" "If you want to be healthy you must be positive!" "God will never give you more than you can handle!" …
Toxic Positivity leaves us feeling alone, and disconnected. It stops us from communicating. It stifles creativity and change. It silences people. It labels things as "happiness inducing" and “happiness preventing."”

Whitney Goodman

“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”

Suzy Kassem (1975) American writer

“Aboard the enigmatic horizon,
all is visible and all elusive,
all are staying and all disappear,
but more deep than human mind,
beyond the fall of stars,
there are hidden tears
that overflow like waves,
living in the core of life
hidden treasures of sensibility.”

Alexis Karpouzos (1967)

“What, if some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life, as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life must return to you, all in the same succession and sequence — even this spider and this moonlight between the trees and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over again and again—and you with it, speck of dust!’ Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: ‘You are a god, and never have I heard anything more divine!’ If this thought were to gain possession of you, it would change you as you are, or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, “do you want this once more and innumerable times more?” would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?”

“If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.”
