“There’s an interesting story about Abraham Lincoln. During the American Civil War he signed an order transferring certain regiments, but Secretary of War Edwin Stanton refused to execute it, calling the president a fool. When Lincoln heard he replied, ‘If Stanton said I’m a fool then I must be, for he’s nearly always right, and he says what he thinks. I’ll step over and see for myself.’ He did, and when Stanton convinced him the order was in error, Lincoln quietly withdrew it. Part of Lincoln’s greatness lay in his ability to rise above pettiness, ego, and sensitivity to other people’s opinions. He wasn’t easily offended. He welcomed criticism, and in doing so demonstrated one of the strengths of a truly great person: humility. So, have you been criticised? Make it a time to learn, not lose.”

“From my low perch, I watch the world as it passes by on these dirty side streets. There are no westerners in this corner of the city. Just locals going about their business. Weighing out brightly colored spices, walking back from the fish market, stopping at the paan shop, socializing over tea. Old men in lungis and flip-flops walking hand in hand and dirty-faced children who are all bright smiles and wild eyes. I am comfortable here. Sitting on this board, in this tiny chai stall, hidden away from the recognizable world. For the moment, I have disappeared.”
― Thomas Lloyd Qualls, Painted Oxen

“Колкото християни избият тук, толкова нови ще намери Павел, защото светът не може да се гради върху подлост, той е прав... Но кой знае дали не може, щом така ли иначе се гради.. Аз самият научих много неща, но не се научих как да съм достатъчно подъл и затова ще трябва да си прережа вените. Впрочем, макар напоследък да скучаех по-малко отпреди, аз съм готов. Някои неща на този свят са прекрасни, но хората в по-голямата си част са толкова противни, че няма защо да се съжалява за живота. Който умее да живее, трябва да умее и да умре.”
― Henryk Sienkiewicz, Quo Vadis
