Robert Anton Wilson, from Cosmic Trigger 2: "Suddenly I understood that the meek never inherit a damned thing: only the very brave and very stubborn make any impact on the world. The [Brooklyn] bridge stood there, a miracle in its time, taken for granted today, but an epiphany to met: great things are possible, to those too pigheaded to admit defeat."
John Collison on X: "As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects."
Via Nabeel S. Qureshi's "hard-won life lessons," worth a look.
