Gillian Flynn
“I think maybe, when I was very young, I witnessed a chaste cheek kiss between the two when it was impossible to avoid. Christmas, birthdays. Dry lips. On their best married days, their communications were entirely transactional: 'We're out of milk again.' (I'll get some today.) 'I need this ironed properly.' (I'll do that today.) 'How hard is it to buy milk?' (Silence.) 'You forgot to call the plumber.' (Sigh.) 'Goddammit, put on your coat, right now, and go out and get some goddamn milk. Now.' These messages and orders brought to you by my father, a mid-level phonecompany manager who treated my mother at best like an incompetent employee.”
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

“Sensuality is a sustainable process, not a short-term high. It has to be more interesting to you than sex otherwise you won’t have enough capacity to really... truly... deeply enjoy life, or sex for that matter. What I’m really trying to say here is: make sensuality your lifestyle; it’s the secret to the ultimate nourishment of your soul.”
Lebo Grand

Albert Camus
“But do you know why we are always more just and generous toward the dead? The reason is simple. With them there is no obligation. They leave us free and we can take our time, fit the testimonial between a cocktail party and a nice little mistress, in our spare time, in short.”
Albert Camus, The Fall

John Maynard Keynes
“The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice and individual liberty.”
John Maynard Keynes

Albert Camus
“The first thing to do is to keep silent – to abolish audiences and learn to be your own judge. To keep a balance between active concern for the body and an attentive awareness of being alive. To abandon all claims and devote yourself to achieving two kinds of freedom: freedom from money, and freedom from your own vanity and cowardice. To have rules and stick to them. Two years is not too long to spend thinking about one single point. You must wipe out all earlier stages, and concentrate all your strength on forgetting nothing and learning patiently.”
Albert Camus, Notebooks, 1935-1951
