Additional quotes by Shane Parrish

Nothing is permanent. Some things are just renewed faster than they decay.

We want the naturally perfect relationship, but the ones that endure are renewed each morning.

Here's the paradox: fragility plus daily care outlasts strength plus neglect. The cast-iron pan seasoned daily outlives the new nonstick. The handwritten menu, which changes daily, outlasts the laminated one.

You can only optimize so much, but you can care forever. Efficiency has limits, devotion doesn't.
