    Anthony Marais
    “We cannot escape the longing, no matter what life we choose. We’re either longing for people, places or times gone by, which are essentially the same things: memories. And, whether or not we travel, the older we get, the more memories we collect. Nostalgia is simply the result of aging and liking the life you’ve lived. Be happy you can feel it—it’s a good sign.”
    Anthony Marais

    Anthony Marais
    “Reflection is nothing more than what it sounds, and pondering one’s own life is about as productive as talking to one’s image in a mirror: both acts are egocentric and neither produces a dialog. People who talk to themselves in public are not self-actualized; they're crazy.”
    Anthony Marais

    Raymond Carver
    “Woke up this morning with
    a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
    and read. Fought against it for a minute.

    And gave over. Put myself entirely
    in the keep of this rainy morning.

    Would I live my life over again?
    Make the same unforgivable mistakes?
    Yes, given half a chance. Yes.
