This is an amalgamation of articles/videos/quotes that I find interesting. This is pretty incomplete and I'll be expanding this in the future, especially since I've unfortunately not kept track of things.
“The price of metaphor is eternal vigilance.”
Norbert Wiener“Whenever I am around people I feel crazy. I feel like some madman the moment I open my mouth, I don't adhere to what most people like. [...] I don't even know alot about what I like, despite being well liked, I feel so out of place.”
“You all have a little bit of “I want to save the world” in you. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you.”
Evan Chen“I think it’s really important to not have an opinion on things you don’t know much about.”
Yi Sun“Never underestimate results that count something.”
Fraleigh“Stop fooling yourself, scrambling to barely qualify an exam isn’t ambition, it’s avoidance of real effort. You’re not just competing to pass; you’re competing with people who own their knowledge. Rushing makes you fragile, and when the real challenges come, you’ll break. Mediocrity doesn’t impress anyone.”
“He who sees how far he can lean out of a window without falling is a moron.”
