“You have re-remembered that happiness has something to do with simplicity.

“Stop worrying about your identity and concern yourself with the people you care about, ideas that matter to you, beliefs you can stand by, tickets you can run on. Intelligent humans make those choices with their brain and hearts and they make them alone. The world does not deliver meaning to you.

― Zadie Smith, On Beauty

''When a monkey hoards more bananas than it can eat, while most of the other monkeys starve, scientists study that monkey to understand the reason. However, when humans exhibit the same behavior, they are featured on the cover of Forbes.'' - Nathalie Robin
