Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
“There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, The Waste Books

“You're the beginning,
You're the ending,
You're the one who rides the waves of my emotions,
One who makes me compassionate,
One who's the light of my dark self,
I'll be the one always testing your patience,
I'll be the one always annoying you,
I'll be the one always hurting you,
Why?
Because I know you'll always be there to bear the jokes I crack,
To tolerate my inside chaos,
To see my vulnerable self,
To misinterpreting your actions & intentions,
I'll always be hardcore to deal with,
Taking you over the edge,
Because that's what I only know.”
Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

It means learning about the world— the world as it really is, not as you wish it to be.”
J.M. Coetzee, The Death of Jesus

Charles D'Ambrosio
“My ideal life is a quiet one. I like to read, to sit still in the same chair, with the lampshade at a certain angle, alone, or with Meagan nearby, and now and then, if I'm lucky, I'll come across a lovely phrase or fine sentiment, look up from my book, and feel the harmony of some notion, the justice of it, and know that everything is there. That's life to me, those privately discovered moments. I wouldn't settle for less, yet I don't expect a whole lot more, either.”
Charles D'Ambrosio, The Dead Fish Museum

“For a boat to go forward, the water must be pushed backwards...

So is moving on in life... We need to push some of what we are floating on behind our backs…”
