Seize the day. Follow your dreams. Be the change you want to see in the world. While designed to uplift and empower, often motivational quotes and the relentless pursuit of happiness can leave us feeling quite the opposite – cynical, racked with guilt that we are not ‘being the best version of ourselves’, disappointed by failures and weighed down by expectations.
Sometimes we just need a healthy dose of demotivation when Budget cuts and burnout take their toll.
The Book of Uninspiring Quotes by filmmaker, writer, performer and musician Sunny Leunig does just that offering to ‘complement your empty shell of an existence.’
‘This book is intended to help us smile, get over ourselves, accept our limitations and get on with our beautifully complicated lives. If it fails, then I am fucking sorry,’ writes Leunig in the author’s statement.
Equal parts morose, humorous and oddly comforting, we’ve compiled our favourite uninspiring quotes to both disappoint and help you find delight that you’re not alone in your misery.
