Ottessa Moshfegh
“Here is how I spend my days now. I live in a beautiful place. I sleep in a beautiful bed. I eat beautiful food. I go for walks through beautiful places. I care for people deeply. At night my bed is full of love, because I alone am in it. I cry easily, from pain and pleasure, and I don’t apologize for that. In the mornings I step outside and I’m thankful for another day. It took me many years to arrive at such a life.”
Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen

Emily St. John Mandel
“Hell is the absence of the people you long for.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

Yanis Varoufakis, And the Weak Suffer What They Must? Europe's Crisis and America's Economic Future

Pericles
“Mankind are tolerant of the praises of others so long as each hearer thinks that he can do as well or nearly as well himself, but, when the speaker rises above him, jealousy is aroused and he begins to be incredulous.”
Pericles, The Funeral Oration of Pericles

“Wisdom is ancient, sublime, and transcendent; it is not periodic, political, or ideological. And”
Curtis R. Mcmanus, Clio's Bastards: Or, the Wrecking of History and the Perversion of Our Historical Consciousness
