And wait for the dream to come."

Alain de Botton
"If we were entirely sane, if madness did not have a serious grip on one side of us, other people's tragedies would hold a great deal less interest for us."

Psychology

Quote_1.png
Alain de Botton
"My dad was a slightly stricter version of Richard Dawkins. The worldview was that there are idiots out there who believe in Santa Claus and fairies and magic and elves, and we're not joining that nonsense."

Alain de Botton
"Anyone who isn't embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn't learning enough."

Alain de Botton
