― Sophocles, Antigone

“Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing. —HENRY MILLER”

“We stop looking for monsters under our beds when we realize they are inside us.”
― Charles Darwin

“Yet this distance, all those abysses unbridged and then unbridgeable by radio, television, cheap travel and the rest, was not wholly bad. People knew less of each other, perhaps, but they felt more free of each other, and so were more individual. The entire world was not for them only a push or a switch away. Strangers were strange, and sometimes with an exciting, beautiful strangeness. It may be better for humanity that we should communicate more and more. But I am a heretic, I think our ancestors' isolation was like the greater space they enjoyed: it can only be envied. The world is only too literally too much with us now.”
― John Fowles, The French Lieutenant’s Woman
