I really need to remember this!
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

As we grow older, “loss becomes the primary condition of living,” Nick Cave says. “That doesn’t mean you’re in a hopeless, grief-stricken state all the time; it just means that you carry a deeper understanding of what it is to be human.”

A lovely quote to start the day, by English poet Matthew Arnold, who was born #onthisday in 1822:

Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy’d the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought,
To have done
