“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“It strikes me that this may be one of the differences between youth and age: when we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others”
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

“It was Daedalus who answered. A golden cage is still a cage.”

“Slow down, Quentin.
You don't have to touch and go.
You can see it all if your fingers whispers on one word.
Slow down, and hold what you see just a little while longer.
For in a world full of fast faces,
I'm looking for God everywhere -
trying to figure out a little better
this little thing He made called a man.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under The River
