“…freedom in its essence is the acceptance of the chains which suit you and for which you are suited, and of the harness in which you pull towards an end chosen and valued by yourself, and not imposed. It is not, and never can be, the absence of restrictions, obligations or law and of duty.”
― Bronislaw Malinowski, Freedom and Civilization

“Those who approach life like a child playing a game, moving and pushing pieces, possess the power of kings.”

“I hate to undermine the worth of talent. Unquestionably, talent exists. It’s no myth or hokum. Your talent tells you that you’re cut out for something. It points you towards what you can do effortlessly and what your potential career could be. However, talent isn’t everything. Knowledge and growth don’t come easily. You have to be willing to put in the hours and the effort, sometimes even without visible progress, because one day, unexpectedly, the results will flower. But without that work, it’s unlikely to happen. Eventually, hard work is not just about plugging away at something. It’s thinking intelligently about what you want to achieve, the goals you’re setting yourself, how you’re improving and how you can incorporate all of this into the list of things that will help you scale that peak.”
― Viswanathan Anand, Mind Master: Winning Lessons From A Champion's Life

“Who are these people whose admiration you seek? Aren’t they the ones you are used to describing as mad? Well, then, is that what you want â€� to be admired by lunatics?”
