Anthony Burgess
“Every grain of experience is food for the greedy growing soul of the artist.”
Anthony Burgess

Diane Arbus
“Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. I don't quite mean they're my best friends but they made me feel a mixture of shame and awe. There's a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you riddle. Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.”
Diane Arbus, Diane Arbus: Monograph

“Some serial killers take their disordered and inflated sense of superiority and complusion to create myths about themselves a step further, into a deliberate barbaric quest for celebrity status. This is arguably the characteristic that most separates serial killers from other offenders who kill under different circumstances or for different motives (discussed in the previous chapter.) The serial killer's reflexivity of action, or his autobiographical self-awareness as an ersatz public figure, suggest that fame and celebrity are two of the chief driving forces in his cliche-laden mind... The serial killer's sense of self-importance fits in with this bizarre demimonde created by cyberspace.”
Michael Arntfield, Murder in Plain English: From Manifestos to Memes--Looking at Murder through the Words of Killers

Phyllis Rose
“More people should visit Antarctica, metaphorically speaking, on their own. That is one of the conclusions I have reached, one of my recommendations: explore something, even if it's just a bookshelf. Make a stab in the dark. Read off the beaten path. Your attention is precious. Be careful of other people trying to direct how you dispense it. Confront your own values. Decide what it is you are looking for an then look for it. Perform connoisseurship. We all need to create our own vocabulary of appreciation, or we are trapped by the vocabulary of others.”
Phyllis Rose, The Shelf: From LEQ to LES: Adventures in Extreme Reading

Pema Chödrön
“Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future. In other words, if we're going to be more cheerful in the future, it's because of our aspiration and exertion to be cheerful in the present. What we do accumulates; the future is the result of what we do right now.”
Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times
