Lou Marinoff
“And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of its own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another, and thus they would create for themselves more suffering than nature inflicts on them as it is.” —ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER”
Lou Marinoff, Plato, Not Prozac!: Applying Eternal Wisdom to Everyday Problems

“Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart”
Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version

Marjane Satrapi
“I've never seen or touched anything."
"Can you explain then how you had children?"
"You're right. It's true I have four kids. Four! But still I have never seen the male organ. He came into the bedroom, he turned off the light, and then Bam! Bam! Bam! and voila I was pregnant! What's more, I was granted four girls. So I have never seen penises.”
Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries

Zoltan Andrejkovics
“Goals want to realize themselves.”
Zoltan Andrejkovics, The Invisible Game: The Mindset of a Winning Team

Brian Selznick
“He often took me to the studio where the movies were made and I remember it as if it were yesterday. I remember how the sun shone through all the windows. I thought it looked like a fairytale palace. One afternoon your husband appeared and shook my hand. And he told me something I never forgot. He crouched on one knee and whispered to me, "If you ever wanted to know where dreams come from when you're sleeping at night, you just have to look around you, that's where they are made.”
Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret
