“When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

“Slowly, a gentle, quiet, personal victory of the spirit grows out of her fear and doubt.”

“I woke up thinking a very pleasant thought. There is lots left in the world to read.”
