On projection
“ ‘Things outside you are projections of what’s inside you, and what’s inside you is a projection of what’s outside.’ “ - Haruki Murakami
On freedom
“ ‘Perhaps most people in the world aren’t trying to be free, Kafka. They just think they are. It’s all an illusion. If they really were set free, most people would be in a real bind. You’d better remember that. People actually prefer not being free.’ ” - Haruki Murakami
On flowering
“Complaining about not achieving success despite working hard is like complaining about an ice cube not melting when you heated it from twenty-five to thirty-one degrees. Your work was not wasted; it is just being stored. All the action happens at thirty-two degrees.” -James Clear
On seasons
“…This plant spreads by reseeding itself. Stubborn little thing can quickly reclaim the silty overflow of a swollen river. Making beauty out of loam.”
On circles
“We have learned so much…there still remains much to learn. We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.” - Herman Hesse
On taking things personally
“Spend today interpreting whatever people do in the most generous way. See if you feel better as a result.” - James Clear
