    Anthony Liccione
    “Her complexity is a glorious fire that consumes, while her simplicity goes unapproachable. But if one takes time to understand her, there is something beautiful to find, something simple to be loved. But she goes unloved, for being misunderstood.”
    Anthony Liccione

    Toni Morrison
    “This is the time for every artist in every genre to do what he or she does loudly and consistently. It doesn't matter to me what your position is. You've got to keep asserting the complexity and the originality of life, and the multiplicity of it, and the facets of it. This is about being a complex human being in the world, not about finding a villain. This is no time for anything else than the best that you've got.”
    Toni Morrison

    Alberto Caeiro
    “To love is to think.
    And I almost forget to feel only from thinking about her.
    I don’t know what I want at all, even from her, and I don’t think about anything but her.
    I have a great animated distraction.
    When I want to meet her,
    I almost feel like not meeting her,
    So I don’t have to leave her afterwards.
    And I prefer thinking about her, because it’s like I’m afraid of her.
    I don’t know what I want at all, and I don’t want to know what I want. All I want to do is think about her.
    I’m asking nothing of nobody, not even her, except to think.”
    Alberto Caeiro, O Pastor Amoroso

    “I believe it was the great ogre philosopher Gary who observed that complexity is, generally speaking, an illusion of conscious desire. All things exist in as simple a form as necessity dictates. When a thing is labeled 'complex,' that's just a roundabout way of saying you're not observant enough to understand it.”
    A. Lee Martinez, In the Company of Ogres

    Kevin Brockmeier
    “You have a pet theory, one you have been turning over for years, that life itself is a kind of Rube Goldberg device, an extremely complicated machine designed to carry out the extremely simple task of constructing your soul.”
    Kevin Brockmeier, The View from the Seventh Layer
