A small collection of fragments I try to keep in mind.

“Every day, once a day, give yourself a present.”
— Agent Dale Cooper , Twin Peaks Season 2
“Reality is counterintuitive.”
— CS109 Lecturer , CS109 Lecture.

Note: A very elegant way to pitch the importance of a class.

“To learn something and then to put it into practice at the right time: is this not a joy?”
— Confucius , The Analects
“For though we love both the truth and our friends, reverance is due to the truth first.”
— Aristotle , Nicomachean Ethics.

Note: A surprisingly cheeky dig at his teacher, Plato. This fragment reminds me that even the most serious philosophical traditions leave room for humor and for having fun with one's work.

“Is a dream a lie if it [doesn't] come true, or is it something worse?”
— Bruce Springsteen , The River.
