Anton Chekhov
“Do silly things. Foolishness is a great deal more vital and healthy than our straining and striving after a meaningful life.”
Anton Chekhov, The Portable Chekhov

David Foster Wallace
“So this purports to be a disease, alcoholism? A disease like a cold? Or like cancer? I have to tell you, I have never heard of anyone being told to pray for relief from cancer. Outside maybe certain very rural parts of the American South, that is. So what is this? You’re ordering me to pray? Because I allegedly have a disease? I dismantle my life and career and entered nine months of low-income treatment for a disease, and I’m prescribed prayer? Does the word retrograde signify? Am I in a sociohistorical era I don’t know about? What exactly is the story here?”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

David Foster Wallace
“Act in Haste, Repent at Leisure" would seem to have been almost custom-designed for the case of tattoos.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Boris Pasternak
“Life is not as easy as croosing a field”
Boris Pasternak

David Sedaris
“I should be used to the way Americans dress when traveling, yet it still manages to amaze me. It’s as if the person next to you had been washing shoe polish off a pig, then suddenly threw down his sponge saying, “Fuck this. I’m going to Los Angeles!”
David Sedaris, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls
