Dez curtas citações de Alain de Botton:
- People only get really interesting when they start to rattle the bars of their cages.
- When one is finally feeling lucid, clear-eyed and rational, people always ask if one's drunk.
- Weakness is only charming in the strong.
- Those who go on to be proper writers are those who can forgive themselves the horrors of the first draft.
- You can only determine people's levels of happiness by investigating their ambitions, not their achievements.
- Great conversations are like beautiful squares in foreign cities one finds at night and then don't know how to get back to in daytime.
- Work only starts when the fear of doing nothing finally exceeds the fear of doing something badly.
- Nagging: when we are too exhausted to be able to convince and charm others into recognising the legitimacy of our needs.
- The most attractive people are the desperate but stoic-comedic.
- Success is a reduction in the number of people capable of torturing you with envy.
