Book cover for The Power
“You have been taught that you are unclean, that you are not holy, that your body is impure and could never harbor the divine.

Alice   Miller
“The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth.”
Alice Miller

David Foster Wallace
“The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Lin Yutang
“Happiness for me is largely a matter of digestion.”
Lin Yutang, The Importance of Living

Amor Towles
“But the objection being raised was not due to the phrase’s overall lack of verve; rather it was due to the word facilitate. Specifically, the verb had been accused of being so tepid and prim that it failed to do justice to the labors of the men in the room.”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow
