“I'm smart enough to see whatever is going on. Too dumb to piece it all together. Not dumb enough to live a simple fantasy and just go with it.”
Billy-Dean Gonzalez

“The most attractive thing in the world is the combination of confidence and self-consciousness. Blended together in the proper amounts. Too much of either and all is lost.”
Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

“Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than to open mouth and remove all doubt”
Anuradha Roy, All the Lives We Never Lived

Iain Reid
“I’m glad we don’t know everything.” “You’re glad?” “That we don’t know all the answers, that we can’t explain it all, like space. Maybe we’re not supposed to know all the answers. Questions are good. They’re better than answers. If you want to know more about life, how we work, how we progress, it’s questions that are important. That’s what pushes and stretches our intellect. I think questions make us feel less lonely and more connected. It’s not always about knowing. I appreciate not knowing. Not knowing is human. That’s how it should be, like space. It’s unsolvable, and it’s dark,” I say, “but not entirely.”
Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things

Iain Reid
“The idea that we are better off with one person for the rest of our lives is not an innate truth of existence. It’s a belief we want to be true. Forfeiting solitude, independence, is a much greater sacrifice than most of us realize. Sharing a habitat, a life, is for sure harder than being alone. In fact, coupled living seems virtually impossible, doesn’t it? To find another person to spend all your life with? To age with and change with? To see every day, to respond to their moods and needs?”
Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things
