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 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."
"Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone - and finding that that's ok with them."
"The moment we cry in a film is not when things are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to be."
"The difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts."
"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."
