If one felt successful, there'd be so little incentive to be... - Alain de Botton
"If one felt successful, there'd be so little incentive to be successful."
"If one felt successful, there'd be so little incentive to be successful."
"The price we have paid for expecting to be so much more than our ancestors is a perpetual anxiety that we are far from being all we might be."
"Don't despair: despair suggests you are in total control and know what is coming. You don't - surrender to events with hope."
"There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life."
"I passionately believe that's it's not just what you say that counts, it's also how you say it - that the success of your argument critically depends on your manner of presenting it."
"The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can't accept that."
