Douglas Adams
“Sherlock Holmes observed that once you have eliminated the impossible then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.”
Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Silvina Ocampo
“Writing is a luxury or, with luck, a rainbow of colors. It is my lifesaver when the water of the river or the sea tries to drag me under. When you want to die you fall in love with yourself, you look for something touching that will save you.”
Silvina Ocampo, Thus Were Their Faces

“it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.”
Mary Oliver, Red Bird

Richard Brautigan
“For fear you will be alone
you do so many things
that aren’t you at all.”
Richard Brautigan

Silvina Ocampo
“When you write, everything is possible, even the very opposite of what you are. I write so that other people can discover what they should love, and sometimes so they discover what I love. I write in order not to forget what is most important in the world: friendship and love, wisdom and art. A way of living without dying, a way of death without dying. On paper, something of us remains, our soul holds on to something in our lives: something more important than the human voice, which changes with health, luck, muteness, and finally, with age.”
Silvina Ocampo
