On stubbornness
“Grinding through everything you start is just stubbornness disguised as self-discipline.” - Mark Manson

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
