Book cover for A Voyage for Madmen
Yachting has long been ruefully likened to standing in a cold shower while tearing up money.

Peter Nichols
“When you’re lost in the Wild and you’re scared as a child, And Death looks you bang in the eye, And you’re sore as a boil it’s according to Hoyle To cock your revolver…and die. But the Code of a Man says: “Fight all you can,” And self-dissolution is barred. In hunger and woe, oh, it’s easy to blow… It’s the hell-served-for-breakfast that’s hard.”
Peter Nichols, A Voyage for Madmen. Peter Nichols

“The turkeys are not going to Jurassic Park you,” he says. “You’re not the bloke from Seinfeld. You’re Jeff Goldblum. Go to sleep.”
Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

Trevor Noah
“Now, when you shit, as you first sit down, you’re not fully in the experience yet. You are not yet a shitting person. You’re transitioning from a person about to shit to a person who is shitting. You don’t whip out your smartphone or a newspaper right away. It takes a minute to get the first shit out of the way and get in the zone and get comfortable. Once you reach that moment, that’s when it gets really nice. It’s a powerful experience, shitting. There’s something magical about it, profound even. I think God made humans shit in the way we do because it brings us back down to earth and gives us humility. I don’t care who you are, we all shit the same. Beyoncé shits. The pope shits. The Queen of England shits. When we shit we forget our airs and our graces, we forget how famous or how rich we are. All of that goes away. You are never more yourself than when you are taking a shit. You have a moment where you realize "This is me, this is who I am". You can pee without giving it a second thought, but not so with shitting. Have you ever looked in a baby's eyes when it's shitting? It's having a moment of pure self-awareness.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“However, if you do start crying in an argument and someone asks why, you can always say, "I'm just crying because of how wrong you are.”
amy poehler, Yes Please

“When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given. But why are they allowed to touch us until we physically fight them off? Why is the door open until we have to slam it shut?”
Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir
