On blank #1: Reading, Knowledge, Understanding, Finding Faults, and Whatever You Own

↘︎ May 25, 2019 … 1′⇠ | skip ⇢

On Reading

“Reading great literature is like having an intimate conversation with someone who has thought a lot about what they are going to say.”

On Knowledge

“I try to be open to the idea that at any given moment, I am wrong about everything.”

On Understanding

“If you encounter a situation, someone, or something and can’t immediately make sense of it (or them), that is a good sign.”

On Finding Faults

“Whatever bothers you most about other people is what bothers you most about yourself. When nothing bothers you about other people, you are at peace with yourself, or subjacent a rock.”

On Whatever You Own

“Use it, or lose it. The less you keep idle, the better. Let little reside blind of the sun.”

All On blanks attributed to myself, unless otherwise noted.
