― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Decide what your currency is early. Let go of what you will never have. People who do this are happier and sexier.”
― Amy Poehler, Yes Please

“I need not be visibly odd. I could engage in the protocols that others followed and move undetected among them. And how could I be sure that other people were not doing the same - playing the game to be accepted but suspecting all the time that they were different?”

“I am, when you stop to think of it, a member of a fairly select group: the final handful of American novelists who learned to read and write before they learned to eat a daily helping of video bullshit. This might not be important.

See what blows, and how far. Just an idea.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
