Yukio Mishima
“Kiyo, what would you do if all of a sudden I weren't here any more?' Satoko asked, her words coming in a rushed whisper.

This was a long-standing trick of Satoko's for disconcerting people. Perhaps she achieved her effects without conscious effort, but she never allowed the slightest hint of mischief into her tone to put her victim at ease. Her voice would be heavy with pathos at such times, as though confiding the gravest of secrets.

Although he should have been inured to this by now, Kiyoaki could not help asking: 'Not here any more? Why?'

Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“For I have a single definition of success: you look in the mirror every evening, and wonder if you disappoint the person you were at 18, right before the age when people start getting corrupted by life. Let him or her be the only judge; not your reputation, not your wealth, not your standing in the community, not the decorations on your lapel. If you do not feel ashamed, you are successful. All other definitions of success are modern constructions; fragile modern constructions.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“To be is to do - Socrates

To do is to be - Sartre

Do Be Do Be Do - Sinatra”
Kurt Vonnegut

“As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?”
Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

“A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.”
