Quote by Olga Ravn

“I just seem to alienate those around me, though I don't mean to. For one thing, I know I'm very clumsy. Whether on or off the job, everything takes time and effort for me. Nothing comes naturally to me here, everything feels like such a big ask, and every face is a void. But perhaps it's always been that way for me, even before I came on board.”

“How strange, Royce thought, that, after emerging victorious from more than a hundred real battles, the greatest moment of triumph he had ever known had come to him on a mock battlefield where he'd stood alone, unhorsed, and defeated. This morning, his life had seemed as bleak as death. Tonight, he held joy in his arms. Someone or something—fate or fortune or Jenny's God—had looked down upon him this morning and seen his anguish. And, for some reason, Jenny had been given back to him. Closing his eyes, Royce brushed a kiss against her smooth forehead. Thank you, he thought. And in his heart, he could have sworn he heard a voice answer, You're welcome.”

“When having is the impetus, then the doing is influenced by material concerns, which can never enable us to live our passion. One reason so many people are dissatisfied and unhappy with their work is that they begin by seeking to have rather than to be. When being informs our actions, self-assurance and inner strength will permeate what we do. By focusing on being, we can feel the connection to all life. Work becomes a living, moment-to-moment process in which meaning is ever-present.”

“Here it comes, then: what we’re doing doesn’t really matter. You know how they always told us we’re indispensable? Not true. We’re dispensable. Highly dispensable. But since we’re here anyway, let’s make something of it. Let’s not get too caught up in identities and job titles. They’re usually only there to put some order in our day. Like summer camp, but with salaries instead of juice boxes. You’ll have to look elsewhere for the really essential stuff.”
