“I'm still kind of a mess. But I think we all are. No one's got it all together. I don't think you ever do get it totally together. Probably if you did manage to do it you'd spontaneously combust. I think that's a law of nature. If you ever manage to become perfect, you have to die instantly before you ruin things for everyone else.”
― Michael Thomas Ford, Suicide Notes

“The easiest way to do anything is properly.”
― K. J. Parker, The Proof House

“Just because life's meaningless doesn't mean we can't experience it meaningfully.”
― Glen Duncan, The Last Werewolf

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
― George Orwell, 1984
