"So far extremely disappointing, like Larkin if you took out much of what was good and distinctive & replaced them with a some sophomorically aping their idea of a wild poet... almost nothing interesting, striking, or memorable — let's just hope it's only my current state of mind....."

Felix Mendelssohn
“People usually complain that music is so ambiguous, and what they are supposed to think when they hear it is so unclear, while words are understood by everyone. But for me it is exactly the opposite...what the music I love expresses to me are thoughts not to indefinite for words, but rather too definite.”
Mendelssohn Felix

Fernando Pessoa
“My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. […]. I'm two, and both keep their distance — Siamese twins that aren't attached.”
Fernando Pessoa , The Book of Disquiet

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
“I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Richard P. Feynman
“Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that's the end of you.”
Richard Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

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
