“They don't actually want you to do your own thing, not unless it's their thing too.”

― Bell Hooks

“Why did the wise guys always accuse other people of being wise guys?”

“Those around you can have their novellas, sweet, their short stories of cliché and coincidence, occasionally spiced up with tricks of the quirky, the achingly mundane, the grotesque. A few will even cook up Greek tragedy, those born into misery, destined to die in misery. But you, my bride of quietness, you will craft nothing less than epic with your life. Out of all of them, your story will be the one to last.”
― Marisha Pessl, Special Topics in Calamity Physics
