“Prior to humanity’s development of self-awareness, life had only played the game of survival. Following the development of self-awareness, life began to also play the game of meaning. Existence was no longer a matter of being, but a matter of being something for a reason. So it began: an endless charade of impossibility. The Terrible Paradox of Self-Awareness: How Awareness Is the Beginning and End of Suffering”

“what is my life for and what am I going to do with it? I don't know and I am afraid. I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. and why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. and I am horribly limited.”

“Forget about criticism and praise, forget about markets and agents and editors. You will remember all of that in time. But for now, forget it. No one is looking over your shoulder, no one is reading what you have written, and no one has an opinion about it. Right now you are alone, and it is time to write.”

“Andy and I--even Tom Cable and I--had always talked obsessively about what we were going to be when we grew up, but with Boris, the future had never appeared to enter his head any further than his next meal. I could not envision him preparing in any way to earn a living or to be a productive member of society. And yet to be with Boris was to know that life was full of great, ridiculous possibilities--far bigger than anything they taught in school.”

“Flirt with many, date with intent, marry with wisdom. Flirt if you must — it teaches you charm. Date the one you love — it shows you your heart. But marry the one who loves you deeply — Because in marriage, love isn’t about who you chase, But who stays, who sees you clearly, and still chooses you. This isn’t a game of selection. It’s not handy-picking from a crowd. This is your destiny. So don’t marry to impress the world. Marry to build a world — with someone who’s already rooting for you. This is a clarion call to be wise when choosing a wife.”

“Salas, a veteran pilot with twenty-five years' experience working the canal, worried about the people aboard the Zaandam. He was no scientist, but he'd heard the reports of flulike symptoms and passengers dying. There was an urgency and moral obligation to assist the stranded ship. "I wanted to show that if Panama could do this, so could the world. We are a small country, but we have a big heart," he cheerily explained, in an echo of a national slogan with the same refrain.”

“One's biggest career wins don't always bring one the most money. It is what you do after your win that determines true success.”

“Without love, how can there be hatred? Hate is actually a very burdensome emotion. For those people, I simply despise them and don't forgive them, but I don't hate them. Hating them would be too much of a concession to them. And can hatred solve any problem? Since ancient times, family matters have been the most complicated. It's not like dealing with an enemy, where you can act with impunity like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Without a proper reason or excuse, dealing with one's own family would inevitably constrain oneself to the shackles of morality. Even if we don't care, it's impossible to live in this world without caring about the opinions of others and the scrutiny of the world." Since it's so difficult to resolve, why burden yourself with hatred and exhaust yourself with it? - Lin Qingwan”

“I don't believe in regrets. i think there is something to be learned from everything we experience, but I can trace back to a couple of defining moments that absolutely shaped the rest of my life - in both positive and negative ways.”
