Benjamin Zander

“Life is revealed as a place to contribute and we as contributors. Not because we have done a measurable amount of good, but because that is the story we tell.”

“How often do we stand convinced of the truth of our early memories, forgetting that they are assessments made by a child? We can replace the narratives that hold us back by inventing wiser stories, free from childish fears, and, in doing so, disperse long-held psychological stumbling blocks.”

“In the measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set the context and let life unfold.”

“...how absurd human beings are and how magnificent.”
