Bruce Lee was one of the most original philosophical minds of the twentieth century — and because his fame rested on physical performance rather than academic credentials, his ideas were received more widely than they might have been through conventional channels. He read voraciously across Eastern and Western philosophy, developed his own martial art (Jeet … Read more
Savage three-word quotes hit differently because there is no softening in them. Three words cannot be polite about what they are saying. They cannot hedge, qualify, or apologize. They say the thing and only the thing — which is exactly what the savage quote is for. When you have something to say and no interest … Read more
June is the month when summer stops being a promise and becomes a fact. The days are longest, the gardens most extravagant, the evenings most reluctant to end.
