“There's nothing fucking worse than knowing that you're just like everybody else.”
― Min Jin Lee, Pachinko

“Guarda más de lo que enseñas,
di menos de lo que sepas,
presta menos lo que tengas,
más caballo y menos piernas,
si más dicen, menos creas,
sé más cauto en tus apuestas;
vino y putas deja ya
y no pases de tu puerta,
y verás que tienes más
de veinte en cada veintena.”
― William Shakespeare, El rey Lear / Othello

“Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
