Jayce

“If you’re a girl, aplomb is one thing you really need: you can use it to make that rapist, that editor, back down. Aplomb: confidence and poise. She does not explain, analyze, plead, confess or fuss. She narrates; her transfiction is like O’Hara’s poetry: I did this and I did that. This is what gives it its poise. She is so nonchalant, so reticent in the narration of her own life, that I think she may be some kind of saint.”
― Chris Kraus, Social Practices

“Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.”
― Mark Twain

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
― Confucius

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
