Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The mind is the only thing about human beings that’s worth anything. Why does it have to be tied to a bag of skin, blood, hair, meat, bones and tubes? No wonder people can’t get anything done, stuck for life with a parasite that has to be stuffed with food and protected from weather and germs all the time. And the fool thing wears out anyway – no matter how much you stuff and protect it.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Unready to Wear

Patti Smith
“What is the soul? What color is it? I suspected my soul, being mischievous, might slip away while I was dreaming and fail to return. I did my best not to fall asleep, to keep it inside of me where it belonged.”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

Jen Beagin
“Yes, people age horribly. They suffer strokes. Their bodies and brains fall apart. But the male ego? Firmly intact until the bitter end.”
Jen Beagin, Big Swiss

Nikos Kazantzakis
“Once, I saw a bee drown in honey, and I understood.”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco

Jen Beagin
“She reminded Greta of one of those exotic vegetables she was drawn to at the farmer's market but didn't know how to cook. Kohlrabi, maybe, or a Jerusalem artichoke. Not very approachable. Not sweet or overly familiar. Not easily boiled down or buttered up.”
Jen Beagin, Big Swiss
