Yoshida Kenkō
“It is a most wonderful comfort to sit alone beneath a lamp, book spread before you, and commune with someone from the past whom you have never met.”
Yoshida Kenkō, A Cup of Sake Beneath the Cherry Trees

Lester Bangs
“The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.”
Lester Bangs

Johnny Cash
“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.”
Johnny Cash

Emily St. John Mandel
“Because survival is insufficient.”
Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven

Fernando Pessoa
“Life is an experimental journey undertaken involuntarily. It is a journey of the spirit through the material world and, since it is the spirit that travels, it is the spirit that is experienced. That is why there exist contemplative souls who have lived more intensely, more widely, more tumultuously than others who have lived their lives purely externally.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
