“Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone.”
― Rashedur Ryan Rahman

“Sometimes you go through things that seem huge at the time, like a mysterious glowing cloud devouring your entire community. While they're happening, they feel like the only thing that matters and you can hardly imagine that there's a world out there that might have anything else going on. And then the glow cloud moves on. And you move on. And the event is behind you. And you may find, as time passes, that you remember it less and less. Or absolutely not at all, in my case.”

This gentleman, I reckon, might one day make a perfect guest on a podcast.”

“While many say Schrager’s work is about design, it isn’t—it’s about ideas and experiences. Ian uses the power of his ideas to tap into what he calls the “collective unconsciousness, the ethereal, elusive, and hard-to-define magic and energy.” He understands the power of this intangible, emotional place and uses it to connect deeply with his customers. He knows that “the way a product makes you feel is more important than how it looks. The goal is to create experiences that people will remember, to touch them in emotional and visceral ways, to lift their spirits, to assault their senses, and to wow them in tasteful ways.” But just as important, Schrager under- stands that an amazing experience can’t be created from ideas alone, knowing that “good execution is just as important as a good idea.” And he has consistently manifested his creative potential because he has regularly married the four key elements that create value in our new age: purpose, creativity, execution, and emotion.”
― Alan Philips, The Age of Ideas: Unlock Your Creative Potential

“When I refer to experienced creativity as a critical part of manifesting your ideas, I’m pointing to the need for creativity that has been steadily practiced through years of experi- mentation; whether or not you’re a prodigy, that’s what it takes to reach your potential.”

“Tim Ferriss, Rogaine, Brian Rose, Rich Roll... etc. how do they get away with this shit. Have long talks with mostly uninteresting characters, and sometimes they just fucking interview each other. How do I get in on the action. On this little scam. Just kidding. I have better things to do. I got Runescape. Sometimes I watch Mishlove. At least he talks to dogs and poltergeists.”
― Dmitry Dyatlov

“What I find often with these political intellectuals [is that], for them, it so often comes across as if politics is just an intellectual exercise, and it is that before something that affects people, who have way less privilege and wealth and access as the pundits creating these think pieces.”
― matt bernstein

“My current special interests are obscure Saturday Night Live sketches, Marilyn Monroe, humpback whales and, as ever, mermaids. Because I, a watery autistic, identified with the moment in Splash when Daryl Hannah is hunched over in the tank. That’s kind of what it feels like to be an autistic woman. That and Ariel, the little mermaid who saved every rock she’d ever seen.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story

“Until then, stay uninspiring.”
It was a fond signoff that her subscribers enjoyed. So many disabled women were sick of being called inspiring just for going to the supermarket or getting dressed up, especially when they were being denied personhood and agency in so many other ways, so Raina had started ending each session by happily telling them to be as mundane or as unremarkable as they wanted. She’d been nervous the first time around, wondering if people might misinterpret her, but the delighted comments came pouring in and thus the catchphrase was born.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story

“A cornucopia of bullies and harassers and people laughing at you made bitterness and cynicism easy. Natural, even. Raina knew how tempting it was to fall into the arms of self-pity. So she went in search of better. Her subscribers, her community, the little niche she'd carved out for herself— it was a pure antidote to the venom.
The only catch was, to find that, she had to choose peace. She had to choose nuance. She had to choose to have hope.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story

“How many times have you seen a love story with a girl like me? Probably never. You’d have to search like a fucking explorer. I wanted to find that. I searched everywhere. I made a space for people like me. Where we could say things without being ridiculed. Without the majority being disgusted. Where we could bolster each other. Where things could be how they should be, not how they are. We could be ourselves. Not the narrow, pitiful paintings of us that people like to make. We could be women. Not inspiration porn. Not cute little memes. Not burdens. Not any of the shit people think because they don’t know any better. I wanted to be part of the whole fucking world, not just a small, sad part of it.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story
