Titon Rahmawan quote: “If we know the secret of how the universe thinks and works, then we will get everything we want.”

“We didn’t win the World Series. How are we satisfied with that? That’s what we want. That’s why we work, that’s why we train, that’s why we do everything in the offseason, the cage work. Everything is to get an opportunity to win a World Series. We came up short.”

Aaron Judge (1992) American baseball player

“Sometimes we know who we want to be and what we want to do long… long before we know how to get there.”

“Happiness is not about getting what we want from the universe, but about how we can gratefully accept what the universe has given us.”

“We did not get everything we wanted, no. The world is not perfect now, and is that why some of us think we accomplished nothing?”

Katharine Kerr (1944) American writer

Context: Why do you think nothing concrete and lasting happened out of the 60s? Lots of people have been saying this lately, and I can't help feeling that the changes were so profound and total that no one remembers that there were changes! The 50s, my friends, happened in a different country than this one. We did not get everything we wanted, no. The world is not perfect now, and is that why some of us think we accomplished nothing? … Try to remember what life was like in the 50s. That's all I can say to that. It's the power structures that are trying to pretend that the change wasn't lasting, so they can convince people that protests and the like are futile now.
But they lie. I'm glad to see that many young people aren't buying it.
