Sublime
An inspiration engine for ideas
Life is going so fast because you're not injecting enough silence into your days. Spend an hour reading or writing or walking in silence and watch how your day seems to double in duration
When you stop framing your life as a serious drama and frame it as a comedy instead, it gets way easier, and way funnier
You impose constraints on yourself, in the form of rituals and routine, and suddenly you are free, for as Michelangelo said, art lives on constraint and dies of freedom, and so do we
When your default is listening mode, rather than waiting to talk mode, people really just spill their souls to you
You prefer to cling on to your potential as a pristine hypothetical, that's why you never let yourself try
Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
— Gustave Flaubert, 1876
