"We grow up opposing our parents only to become like them enough to oppose our children who behave as we once did-a reminder of how dreadful we were toward those now vindicated grandparents. And you thought God had no sense of humor."

Alain de Botton
"The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it's a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil."

War

Quote_1.png
Alain de Botton
"What a peculiar civilisation this was: inordinately rich, yet inclined to accrue its wealth through the sale of some astonishingly small and only distantly meaningful things, a civilisation torn and unable sensibly to adjudicate between the worthwhile ends to which money might be put and the often morally trivial and destructive mechanisms of its generation."

Self

Alain de Botton
"The materialistic view of happiness of our age starkly revealed in our understanding of the word "luxury."

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Alain de Botton
"Curiosity takes ignorance seriously, and is confident enough to admit when it does not know. It is aware of not knowing, and it sets out to do something about it."

Curiosity

Alain de Botton
"I feel that the great challenge of our time is the communication of ideas."

Ideas

Alain de Botton
"Don't despair: despair suggests you are in total control and know what is coming. You don't - surrender to events with hope."

Hope

Quote_1.png
Alain de Botton
"To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone. This isn't necessarily our fault as individuals. Society as a whole appears determined to render the single state as nettlesome and depressing as possible: once the freewheeling days of school and university are over, company and warmth become dispiritingly hard to find; social life starts to revolve oppressively around couples; there's no one left to call or hang out with. It's hardly surprising, then, if when we find someone halfway decent, we might cling."

"Insomnia is his mind's revenge for all the tricky thoughts he has carefully avoided during the daylight hours."

Mind

Quote_1.png
Alain de Botton
"At the heart of the pain created by sexual rejection is our habit of interpreting it as a moral judgement, when it might more accurately be categorized as a mere accident."
