"I’ve annotated so much already, and learned so much: Food names I was never taught but know the taste of, histories of disaster, perspectives of womanhood and ancestral knowledge. I’ve underlined so many lines relatable to working class Filipinxs. All this 20 pages in!!!" Mar 17, 2023 09:05PM

Douglas Adams
“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Patrick Ness
“Cuz how do you know yer alive if you don't hurt?”
Patrick Ness, The Ask and the Answer

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

Patrick Ness
“The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say.
About anything.
"Need a poo, Todd."
"Shutup, Manchee."
"Poo. Poo, Todd."
"I said shut it.”
Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go

William Shakespeare
“So wise so young, they say, do never live long.”
William Shakespeare, Richard III
