W.C. Fields
“If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
W.C. Fields

Rebecca Solnit
“Perhaps walking is best imagined as an 'indicator species,' to use an ecologist's term. An indicator species signifies the health of an ecosystem, and its endangerment or diminishment can be an early warning sign of systemic trouble. Walking is an indicator species for various kinds of freedom and pleasures: free time, free and alluring space, and unhindered bodies.”
Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking

Anthony Doerr
“The things that look fixed in this world, child--mountains, wealth, empires--their permanence is only an illusion. We believe they will last, but that is only because of the brevity of our own lives. From the perspective of God, cities like this come and go like anthills.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Margaret Atwood
“In the midst of such rigorous and demanding splendor, who will remember Bob?”
Margaret Atwood, Stone Mattress: Nine Tales

Bill Hicks
“If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.”
Bill Hicks
