The curse of intelligence is restlessness, the curse of lacking intelligence is envy. The curse of courage is isolation, the curse of lacking courage is regret.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
Don’t stay in places where people are committed to misunderstanding your character. The right environments don’t require you to constantly defend who you are, they recognize it.
