Oliver Sacks
“He said that he had learned Transcendental Meditation as a way of dealing with otherwise uncontrollable ticcing in public places.“It’s just autohypnosis,” he explained. “You have a mantra, a little word or phrase repeating slowly in your mind, and you soon get into a sort of trance and become oblivious to everything. It calms me down.” He remained almost tic-free for the rest of the evening.”
Oliver Sacks, Everything in Its Place: First Loves and Last Tales

Elizabeth Strout
“People are lonely, is my point here. Many people can’t say to those they know well what it is they feel they might want to say.”
Elizabeth Strout, Oh William!

Lily King
“Fitzgerald said that the sign of genius is being able to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at the same time. But what if you hold two contradictory fears? Are you still some kind of a genius?”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers

Anthony Doerr
“Sometimes the things we think are lost are only hidden, waiting to be rediscovered.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Elizabeth Strout
“But we are all mythologies, mysterious. We are all mysteries, is what I mean.

This may be the only thing in this world I know to be true.”
Elizabeth Strout, Oh William!
