Cormac McCarthy
“My daddy always told me to just do the best you knew how and tell the truth. He said there was nothin to set a man’s mind at ease like wakin up in the morning and not havin to decide who you were. And if you done somethin wrong just stand up and say you done it and say you’re sorry and get on with it. Don’t haul stuff around with you.”
Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

Seneca
“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Jordan B. Peterson
“And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete beastiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and himself. A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense. it sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn't it? And surely he knows that no one has offended him, and that he himself has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it, that he has exaggerated for the sake of effect, that he has picked up on a word and made a mountain out of a pea--he knows all of that, and still he is the first to take offense, he likes feeling offended, it gives him great pleasure, and thus he reaches the point of real hostility...”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Machado de Assis
“I had no children, I did not transmit to any creature the legacy of our misery.”
