“Mingus had always known that that was what the blues was: music played to the dead, calling them back, showing them the way back to the living. Now he realized part of the blues was the opposite of that: the desire to be dead yourself, a way of helping the living find the dead.”
― Geoff Dyer, But Beautiful: A Book about Jazz

“Put yourself out there! You'll find your match - you're soulmate is waiting right around the corner! Where do I find her? You just have to look around, keep meeting new people! I've tried that, I've got out for days on end going to countless bars and clubs - I've gone all the way to the other side of the earth and still nothing. Well it'll fall into your lap when you least expect it. Really? Yeah you can't be looking for it - well I'm NOT looking for it. Adn where on earth am I supposed to find her? In the bushes? On the street corner? In the cafe where everyone is looking at their phone and has airpods shoved into their ears? In the library where there are empty tables? In the bar were everyone is drunk and foolishly polluting their own bodies? In the churches that young people have abandoned? On the dating apps that are shown to be ineffective for men? Wil she fall out of the sky onto my lap? It got to a point where I was happy to be alone. It was to much vain effort trying to find the right person. Anyways who brought the wine? And it better be pino grigio!”

“Each new generation asks – What is the meaning of life? A more fertile way of putting the question would be – Why does man need a meaning to life?”

“She’s my best friend, and I’m hers. Nothing needs to change between us.” He was afraid, not because he thought she wasn’t the one. He was terrified, because he knew she was.”
