Kafka Quote

 Here is a quote by Kafka on doing nothing... and waiting for the world to fall at your feet.

Maybe makes sense.

Quote by Seneca

 Quote by Seneca on self deliverance 

Contemnite fortunam; nullum illi telum quo feriret animum dedi. Ante omnia cavi, ne quid vos teneret invitos; pateat exitus. Si pugnare non vultis, licet fugere. Ideo ex omnibus rebus quas esse vobis necessarias volui nihil feci facilius quam mori. Prono animam loco posui: trahitur. Adtendite modo et videbitis quam brevis ad libertatem et quam expedita ducat via. 

Turn your nose up at fortune. I (sc. God) have given it no weapon with which it can strike your mind. Above all beware that nothing hold you back against your will. The door lies open. If you don’t want to fight, you can flee. Thus, of all the things that I wanted to be required of you, I made nothing easier than death. I have placed your soul on a slanted slope: it is being dragged down. Only pay attention and you will see how short and how quick a road leads to freedom.

Quote by Thich Nhat Hanh

Quote by Thich Nhat Hanh

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
