Sylvia Plath
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?

Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Marcus Aurelius
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
Marcus Aurelius , Meditations

Vernon D. Burns
“You fucked a raptor?”
Vernon D. Burns, Gods of the Jungle Planet

George Bernard Shaw
“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”
George Bernard Shaw

“The truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or their desire for more.”
