“I don't know why these things have to be transmitted by word of mouth, he thought. It wasn't exactly that they were secrets; God revealed his secrets easily to all his creatures.

He had only one explanation for this fact: things have to be transmitted this way because they were made up from the pure life, and this kind of life cannot be captured in pictures or words.

Because people become fascinated with pictures and words, and wind up forgetting the Language of the World.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“these darkest mornings start days that Orin can’t even bring himself for hours to think about how he’ll get through the day.

― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

“It’s okay to close some doors; hell, it’s even okay to lock them.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
