“Zoom in and obsess. Zoom out and observe. We get to choose.”

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”
― Nayyirah Waheed

“If you really want to communicate something, even if it’s just an emotion or an attitude, let alone an idea, the least effective and least enjoyable way is directly. It only goes in about an inch. But if you can get people to the point where they have to think a moment what it is you’re getting at, and then discover it, the thrill of discovery goes right through the heart.”
― Stanley Kubrick

“Iar noi doi traim, suntem amandoi in viata si mereu aproape, insa orgoliile nebunesti nu ne mai infierbanta mintile, dar, cand trec pe dinaintea celor intamplate, plec capul si - nu stiu de ce - mi se strange inima. Nu simti ce lucru grav, ce lucru frumos a fost prietenia noastra din vremea aceea? Suntem deopotriva alaturi si departe, prietene, eu nu mai stiu nimic despre tine, iar tu nu mai stii nimic despre mine. Dar cand te revad asezat in fata meselor mari si mazgalite ale bibliotecii, in diminetile si dupa-amiezile de munca patimasa, aplecat peste cartile deschise, peste hartia pregatita pentru scris si aud din nou glasul tau care ma intreba sau imi raspundea ceva, atunci inteleg totul, iar tu redevii al meu, intocmai ca in acele zile indepartate ale nelinistitei noastre vegheri.”
― Giovanni Papini, Un uomo finito
