"If a man only writes well when he's drunk, then I'll tell him: Get drunk. And if he says that it's bad for his liver, I'll answer:What's your liver? A dead thing that lives while you live, whereas the poems you write live without while." Apr 08, 2026 10:45AM

Alfred Stieglitz
“People—People.—Phone.—Phone.—Endless. And I am so tired.—And I would like to sleep under trees—Red ones—Blue ones—Swirling passionate ones—”

Cesare Pavese
“Perfect behavior is born of complete indifference. Perhaps this is why we always love madly someone who treats us with indifference.”
Cesare Pavese, Il mestiere di vivere: Diario 1935-1950

Arthur Schopenhauer
“One can never read too little of bad, or too much of good books: bad books are intellectual poison; they destroy the mind.

In order to read what is good one must make it a condition never to read what is bad; for life is short, and both time and strength limited.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms

Susan Sontag
“I suffer from a chronic nausea—after I’m with people. The awareness (after-awareness) of how programmed I am, how insincere, how frightened.”
Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980
