Jason Paul

“A serious house on serious earth it is,
In whose blent air all our compulsions meet,
Are recognised, and robed as destinies.
And that much never can be obsolete,
Since someone will forever be surprising
A hunger in himself to be more serious,
And gravitating with it to this ground,
Which, he once heard, was proper to grow wise in,
If only that so many dead lie round.”
― Philip Larkin

“Any future is unknown – but sometimes it acquires a particular fogginess, as if some other force had come to the aid of destiny's natural reticence and distributed this resilient fog, from which thought rebounds.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, The Luzhin Defense

“A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith”
― Yevgeny Zamyatin, We
