“In a world where education is predominantly verbal, highly educated people find it all but impossible to pay serious attention to anything but words and notions. There is always money for, there are always doctrines in, the learned foolery of research into what, for scholars, is the all-important problem: Who influenced whom to say what when? Even in this age of technology the verbal humanities are honoured. The non-verbal humanities, the arts of being directly aware of the given facts of our existence, are almost completely ignored.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

“Have you never thought how danger must surround power as shadow does light?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

― David Graeber, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory

“This story is for all the slightly broken people out there. I am one of you. You are not alone. You are all beautiful to me.”
