“People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.”

“Too many people mistook envy for happiness. They believed other people wanting to do the things they were doing was more important than doing things they wanted to do. So they'd edit their photographs and edit their lives and edit and lie until from a distance, it looked like they had the perfect life. But life isn't something that should be edited. Life shouldn't be cut. The only way you'll ever discover what it truly means to be alive and human is by sharing the full experience of what it means to be human and each blemish and freckle that comes with it.”

“Sećam se Enrika Josifa, koji je jednom rekao: "Ne postoji Božija dobrota bez Božijeg gneva. Pridodavati Tvorcu gnev nije antropološka pridodavajuća vrlina. U Božijem gnevu leži najdublja tajna mističke, prečišćene Božije ljubavi," dok je hrišćanski svetitelj Tihon Zadonski upozoravao sentimentalne hrišćane ovako: "Đavo predstavlja čoveku samo Božije milosrđe, a izbegava pravosuđe Njegovo, da bi tako lakše navodio čoveka na greh i u gresima ga održao. Jeste Bog milostiv, ali je i pravedan.”

“Everyone says there’s a voice in your head that serves as your conscience. Well, I’ve had lots of time to think about this, and I have my own psychological theory: Everybody has a tiny person in their head. Stay with me. Don’t laugh. This “Tiny Person” talks to itself, which would explain the voices we hear, but it makes its own decisions. People are merely drones controlled by them.”

“If the new information is consonant with our beliefs, we think it is well founded and useful: "Just what I always said!" But if the new information is dissonant, then we consider it biased or foolish: "What a dumb argument!" So powerful is the need for consonance that when people are forced to look at disconfirming evidence, they will find a way to criticize, distort, or dismiss it so that they can maintain or even strengthen their existing belief. This mental contortion is called the "confirmation bias.”
