There are too many, but one for today:

"Believing that you’re the only person in your life not worth taking care of is a form of narcissism.

You are not special. You are therefore not especially unworthy of care. Get over yourself."

Sam Harris: "Mindfulness is about recognizing that you need not be a hostage to your thoughts. In the default state of mind, it’s as though you’ve been kidnapped by the most boring person on earth and forced to listen to a maniac talk at you all day long. Literally, the conversation starts the moment you wake up and doesn’t end until you fall helplessly asleep at night. Mindfulness offers an alternative to this, but it takes some training to acquire this skill. If you can recognize a thought as a thought, if you can step back and just notice thoughts as mere appearances in consciousness, then you’re free."

― Milan Kundera

You ever get the feeling the world's filling up with bastards? I do. What I want to know is what happens when all the bastards run out of people to crap on? What happens when all that's left in the world is bastards? . . . The golden rule. Screw unto others before they screw unto you.

— William Hoffman

[Klingsor]

You call me a misanthrope because I avoid society. You err; I love society. Yet in order not to hate people, I must avoid their company.

“Tonight’s December thirty-first,
Something is about to burst.
The clock is crouching, dark and small,
Like a time bomb in the hall.
Hark, it's midnight, children dear.
Duck! Here comes another year!” ―Ogden Nash

Happy New Year 🥂
