Neurosis

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“The only time you should ever look back, is to see how far you've come.”
― Bangtan Boys, Butterfly

“We’re so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, like ancient stars that have burned out, are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about every day, too many new things we have to learn. New styles, new information, new technology, new terminology … But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Good that you ask -- you should always ask, always have doubts.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend
