"Life’s beauty: the kindest act toward you in your life may come from an outsider not interested in reciprocation." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb in The Bed of Procrustes
"Beware of the person who gives advice, telling you that a certain action on your part is 'good for you' while it is also good for him, while the harm to you doesn’t directly affect him."
— Nassim Taleb
