  1. "Process is for fast food restaurants. I’m much more interested in skill. Skilled people without a process will always find a way to get things done. Skill begets process. But process doesn’t beget skill. Following a recipe won’t make you a great chef – it just means you can make a competent bolognese. Great chefs don’t need cookery books. They know their medium and their ingredients so well that they can find excellent combinations as they go. The recipe becomes a natural by-product of their work."

    Hurricane by Bob Dylan

    How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
    To see him obviously framed
    Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
    Where justice is a game.

    Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
    Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
    While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
    An innocent man in a living hell
    That’s the story of the Hurricane
    But it won’t be over till they clear his name
    And give him back the time he’s done
    Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
    The champion of the world.

    “Many people wake up at night and panic,” he says. “I tell them that what they are experiencing is a throwback to the bi-modal sleep pattern.”

    But the majority of doctors still fail to acknowledge that a consolidated eight-hour sleep may be unnatural.

  7. "The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe."

    ― Deepak Chopra  (via elige)

  10. "If both accounts for and coincides with our experience of the world as conscious beings—an experience that is proactively and irreducibly subjective. With this theory of mind, we are free of deterministic preprogrammed laws, and instead can embrace a framework of consciousness: the feeling the we have of owning our own actions and being able to develop our self-conceptions through experience over time."

    ― John J. Ratey, M.D. (A users guide to the brain)
