    Bret Weinstein
    “Fun is something you're supposed to have in the process of accomplishing something [meaningful]. When you start thinking that 'fun is the whole point' rather than 'fun is the reward to get you to be active and do something [meaningful]'... What we find out is that people who have a life [where fun for its own sake is the whole point of life,] often are not wonderful people; they're spoiled brats. It doesn't satisfy you. It actually leaves you rudderless.”

    Annie Dillard
    “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living.”

    C.S. Lewis
    “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
