"First 3 chapters in, feeling hella grim. Thousand years history of old pederastic Roman culture, might be a while before I wrap my head around to pick up the book and read it again.

A friend suggested to skip to chapter 11 right away if I'm not comfortable with all that triggering histories. I might as well tear the book in half!"

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Josephine Baker
“Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.”
Josephine Baker

Mark Twain
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
Mark Twain

David Foster Wallace
“We all have our little solipsistic delusions, ghastly intuitions of utter singularity: that we are the only one in the house who ever fills the ice-cube tray, who unloads the clean dishwasher, who occasionally pees in the shower, whose eyelid twitches on first dates; that only we take casualness terribly seriously; that only we fashion supplication into courtesy; that only we hear the whiny pathos in a dog’s yawn, the timeless sigh in the opening of the hermetically-sealed jar, the splattered laugh in the frying egg, the minor-D lament in the vacuum’s scream; that only we feel the panic at sunset the rookie kindergartner feels at his mother’s retreat. That only we love the only-we. That only we need the only-we. Solipsism binds us together, J.D. knows. That we feel lonely in a crowd; stop not to dwell on what’s brought the crowd into being. That we are, always, faces in a crowd.”
David Foster Wallace, Girl with Curious Hair

Jane Goodall
“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
Jane Goodall
