Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“We are all pilgrims who seek Italy.”

Christopher Lasch
“We demand too much of life, too little of ourselves.”
Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations

Gore Vidal
“That's why Priscus is wisest of all: silence cannot be judged. Silence masks all things or no thing. Only Priscus can tell us what his silence conceals, but since he won't, we suspect him great.”
Gore Vidal, Julian

Li Bai
“No one understands now. Those who could
hear a song this deeply vanished long ago.”
Li Po

Charles Bukowski
“there’s nothing to
discuss
there’s nothing to
remember
there’s nothing to
forget

it’s sad
and
it’s not
sad

seems the
most sensible
thing
a person can
do
is
sit
with drink in
hand
as the walls
wave
their goodbye
smiles

one comes through
it
all
with a certain
amount of
efficiency and
bravery
then
leaves

some accept
the possibility of
God
to help them
get
through

others
take it
staight on

and to these

I drink
tonight.”
Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense
