“As long as you’re fighting it, you are giving it power. You give it as much power as you are using to fight it.”
― Anthony de Mello, Awareness

“There is a strange attitude and feeling that one is not yet in real life. For the time being one is doing this or that, but whether it is a woman or a job, it is not yet what is really wanted, and there is always the fantasy that sometime in the future the real thing will come about. If this attitude is prolonged, it means a constant inner refusal to commit oneself to the moment. With this there is often, to a smaller or greater extent, a savior complex, with the secret thought that one day one will be able to save the world; the last word in philosophy, or religion, or politics, or art, or something else, will be found.”
― Marie-Louise von Franz, The Problem of the Puer Aeternus

“Overthinking, the art of creating problems that weren’t even there”
― David Sikhosana, Time Value of Money: Timing Income

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― Mark Twain
