Zelda Fitzgerald
“I love you, even if there isn’t any me, or any love, or even any life. I love you.”
Zelda Fitzgerald

Alan W. Watts
“To put is still more plainly: the desire for security and the feeling of insecurity are the same thing. To hold your breath is to lose your breath. A society based on the quest for security is nothing but a breath-retention contest in which everyone is as taut as a drum and as purple as a beet.”
Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames”
Rumi

Alan W. Watts
“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”
Alan Wilson Watts

that excites your spirit.”
