Ken Kesey
“When a man showed up you didn't want to look at his face and he didn't want to look at his face and he didn't want to look at yours, because it's painful to see somebody so clear that it's like looking inside him, but then neither did you want to to look away and lose him completely. You had a choice: you could either strain and look at things that appeared in front of you in the fog, painful as it may be, or you could relax and lose yourself.”
Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

J.R. Rim
“It's not about making the right choice.
It's about making a choice and making it right.”
J.R. Rim, Better to be able to love than to be loveable
