Collected from writings, speeches, sayings and both fiction and non-fiction works from famous authors and personalities, these quotes have been chosen to combine motivational, productivity-driven ideas, with a more relaxed, open ended approach that brings inspiration in "soft areas" like emotional intelligence, appreciation of the current moment...

The selection aspires to be practical and hands on, but at the same time with a playful, poetic bias, a reminder to smell the flowers along the way; the premise behind is that such "lateral thinking" in the often becomes practical, too; sometimes what prevents us from achieving our goals is that we're trying too hard; others the solution can be hidden in what you already now, and all you need a moment of calm, of disconnection, to get back to it later under the right light.

What all those quotes share, besides their different flavors, is being amusing, sure to bring you a moment of smile, a thought provoking question, perhaps admiration for some of the genius of this world, and sound advice that you can apply to the personal circumstances in your life...
