“Now all my tales are based on the fundemental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large.... To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all.”
― H.P. Lovecraft

“We are too prone to make technological instruments the scapegoats for the crimes of those who wield them. The products of modern science are not in themselves good or bad; it is the way they are used that determines their value.”
― David Sarnoff

“Cars are empowered by either petrol or diesel or gas. That is their fuel. I don't care whether you want to pour pepper soup or orange juice into that car... It can't work! You can't live without intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and move forward”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Wearing a smile while claiming to not judge and condemn people as you equate their nature with no less than a carnal and immoral act rather than as understanding their orientation and identity as an intrinsic part of who they are doesn't lessen the harshness and cruelty of that rejection.”
― Christina Engela

“If we can just stick with new routines long enough to start cranking out the happy juice (serotonin) or find a way to make the experience intrinsically pleasurable (dopamine), we’ve got a much better chance of it becoming a long-term habit.”
― Simon Marshall, The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion

“You already have and are; your value is intrinsic.”
― Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

“Understanding and developing your true identity gives you intrinsic value and should impact your focus”
― Sunday Adelaja

“There is no intrinsic value in possessing most wealth, it is only powerful based on what you do with it to better the world. Lacking that it is largely just a paper weight or tinder.”
― C.A.A. Savastano

“Putting flow-prone kids into high-flow environments means a lot of flow. Arming them with advanced flow-hacking techniques means even more. All this flow makes the activity deeply rewarding, both fulfilling a child’s innate need for autonomy, mastery, and purpose and further increasing their sense of intrinsic motivation. When Tom Schaar says, “I love being with my friends at the skate park â€� that’s the greatest feeling,â€� what he’s saying is no one has to force him to practice, the autotelic nature of the activity â€� the fact that it drives him into flow â€� is the source code of his motivation.”

“Reward. The feeling you get once you’ve done or are doing the behavior. For new behaviors that aren’t intrinsically pleasurable, you might need to pair a separate reward (something that does provide a dopamine squirt) with the new behavior so you still feel good after completion.”
― Simon Marshall, The Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down and Rise to the Occasion

“Government surveillance is a violation of our intrinsic right to privacy, a breach that extends beyond legal boundaries into the emotional terrain of fear and mistrust. The toll on individuals subjected to constant monitoring is profound, casting a shadow over the very notion of personal freedom. Trust, a cornerstone of any democratic society, crumbles in the face of surveillance overreach, fostering an environment where citizens feel hesitant to express themselves openly. Historical examples, such as the COINTELPRO program, illuminate the dark potential of unchecked government surveillance, highlighting the imperative to acknowledge its unlawfulness and safeguard the emotional well-being and trust that are essential for a thriving society.”
