“The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely "well-adjusted", he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists between antisocial types in their power to see environments as they really are.

― Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage

“Elevators are brilliant. I’m going to stand here a little longer. The good thing about riding in an elevator as a grown-up is that nobody questions my being in the elevator. Nobody suspects me of just riding the elevator. I look like I’m one of the others.”
― Erlend Loe

“The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.”
