* Most of the time, if you are dissatisfied, it's because you are missing or craving a pleasant experience - [Yuval Noah Harari](https://www.ynharari.com/)
* The big paradox of history is that it's obvious we are thousands of times more powerful than people in the Stone age, but it's not clear whether we are at all happier than they were - [Yuval Noah Harari](https://www.ynharari.com/)
