“Meditations is one of those books I keep returning to when life gets hard. Marcus Aurelius applies to daily life in ways I keep rediscovering.”
“It's Ryan being like talking about, yeah, talking about Marcus Aurelius and like how you apply that to life. And it's like, these are sort of the ponderings, is that a word? The things that I pull from his books that I underline that mean so much to me. And now, he's delivering them to me in a medium that actually works better, which is these little clips, still read his books. I just mean it's better than underlining a chapter and trying to find that dog eared page. And that's been really brilliant.”

Class
Paul Fussell

“There's this amazing book written in like 1980 by Paul Fussell called "Class." And it's about social classes, socioeconomic classes. And the highest class is called the X class, which is a class like above and beyond. I might be butchering this. And what they have in common with the lowest class, which are the destitute, is that the richest people in the world never handle money and don't have to deal with phones or anything like that. And then the destitute have no money to handle and they don't deal with phones or other people or anything like that. So like there is this, the polar ends of the spectrum.”
