“The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life’s most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become.”
Mila Kundera

William Shakespeare
“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.”
William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Oscar Wilde
“Paradox though it may seem - and paradoxes are always dangerous things - it is none the less true that Life imitates art far more than Art imitates life.”
Oscar Wilde, The Decay of Lying

Gertrude Stein
“What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it. - A substance in a cushion”
Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons

Siri Hustvedt
“The man was heavy with life. So often it’s lightness that we admire. Those people who appear weightless and unburdened, who hover instead of walk, attract us with their defiance of ordinary gravity. Their carelessness mimics happiness, but Bill had none of that.”
Siri Hustvedt, What I Loved
