Fred Rogers
“I wonder if we might pledge ourselves to remember what life is really all about—not to be afraid that we're less flashy than the next, not to worry that our influence is not that of a tornado, but rather that of a grain of sand in an oyster! Do we have that kind of patience?”
Fred Rogers

Robinson Jeffers
“As for me, I would rather be a worm in a wild apple than a son of man. But we are what we are, and we might remember not to hate any person, for all are vicious; And not to be astonished at any evil, all are deserved; And not to fear death; it is the only way to be cleansed.”
Robinson Jeffers, Robinson Jeffers: Selected Poems

David Foster Wallace
“The capital-T Truth is about life BEFORE death.

It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:

"This is water."

"This is water."

It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.”
David Foster Wallace

R.D. Laing
“Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent.”
R.D. Laing

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum.”
Kurt Vonnegut
