An hour completely detached from your daily grind is much more productive than 5 hours detached in which you mentally punish yourself for “taking a break.”

Nicolas Cole

Knowledge is a curse because once you have it, you can’t imagine what it’s like not to possess it.



Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other.people can use.

Inversion is often at the core of great art. At any given time there is a status quo in society and the artists and innovators who stand out are often the ones who overturn the standard in a compelling way.

James Clear


Reality isn’t static, and neither are your decisions and productions. They can and should be refined over time, and it’s on you to experiment enough to ensure you’re better tomorrow.

Stop thinking about what your money can buy. Start thinking about what your money can earn. And then think about what the money it earns can earn. Once you begin to do this, you’ll start to see that when you spend money, not only is that money gone forever, the money it might have earned is gone as well. And so on.

Sartre

L’existentialisme est un humanisme.

L’homme “n’est d’abord rien. Il ne sera qu’ensuite, et il sera tel qu’il se sera fait”1. De là le premier principe de l’existentialisme : “l’homme n’est rien d’autre que ce qu’il se fait”.

Pour les objets c’est l’inverse. Sartre prend l’exemple du coupe papier ; il existe un concept de coupe papier qui définit une certaine utilité, une fonction précise de cet objet. C’est son essence, ce qu’il est. Cette essence précède son existence : on va construire cet objet, le faire venir à l’existence, de manière à ce qu’il réponde à cette fonction. Et il n’évoluera pas.

L’existence précède l’essence au contraire de l’animal.


À l’arbre du silence est accroché son fruit : la paix.

Proverbe arabe

La perfectibilité est le propre de l’homme

Sartre

Cette marge de manœuvre, cette part de liberté qu’à l’être humain sur la nature, l’instinct est ce qui le différencie de l’animal.
