💚 Scrolling back through my screenshots, from The Daily Stoic
“The Daily Stoic November 29th YOU'RE GOING TO BE OK "Don't lament this and don't get agitated." -MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.43 There's that feeling we get when something happens: It's all over now. All is lost. What follows are complaints and pity and misery-the impotent struggle against something that's already occurred. Why bother? We have no idea what the future holds. We have no idea what's coming up around the bend. It could be more problems, or this could be the darkness before the dawn. If we're Stoic, there is one thing we can be sure of: whatever happens, we're going to be OK.

💕Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison with her words “The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It's about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. Good is more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly. It may be horrible, but it is not a compelling idea. The opposite - survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are more compelling intellectually, if not spiritually, which they certainly are also. We are already born. We are going to die. So in between, you have to do something interesting that you respect.”

“He said, ‘In the midst of hate, 1 found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger-something better, pushing right back.’” ALBERT CAMUS

Amazing as it sounds, literature can do that for you. Books are your ticket to the whole world. They’re a free ticket to the entire earth. —Billy Connolly”
