Quote by Margaret Rogerson

“Este imposibil de știut câți ani va trăi un om sau în ce fel va muri. Viața este ca uleiul dintr-o lampă. Poate fi măsurat dar ritmul în care arde depinde de cum este rotit zi de zi cadranul, de cât de strălucitoare și înverșunată este flacăra. Și nu poți prezice dacă lampa ar putea fi răsturnată și spulberată, când ar fi putut să ardă încă mult timp. Viața este imprevizibilă. Este bine că nu ai multe întrebări; eu nu am niciun răspuns.”

“…it can hardly be over-exaggerated that speculative thinking is always drawn from the necessities of the time, that it is always practical, that it always shifts with the interests of the times, with the changes of social, economic, and political conditions, and finally, that it is vain to hope to find an eternal, fixed, and immutable system of philosophy, and still hope for progress. A fixed system is applicable only to a dead society.”

“The phenomenon of burnout has given rise to a multimillion-dollar industry of self-help to counter its negative effects. Vinkers takes a more skeptical view and believes that simple life lessons like “Spend more time doing nothing” are not very effective. He and the philosopher Jeroen de Ridder wrote that “[self-help] tips, however well-intentioned, are useless: You wouldn’t tell a soldier suffering from PTSD to eat more healthily or a single mother in a poor neighborhood to find a hobby.” We are all different, living different lives, and we have different responses to stressful problems. There is no ready-made solution. That’s why we’re drowning in self-help books.”
