Time for outrage

If you want to be a real human being — a real woman, a real man — you cannot tolerate things which put you to indignation, to outrage. You must stand up. I always say to people, "Look around; look at what makes you unhappy, what makes you furious, and then engage yourself in some action."

The worst possible outlook is indifference that says, "I can’t do anything about it; I’ll just get by." Behaving like that deprives you of one of the essentials of being human: the capacity and the freedom to feel outraged.

Perfection

"You know you have reached perfection of design not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away."

~ Antoine de Saint Exupéry
