“Learn this, as we pass through the portico:
Fear nothing; there is nothing you can know!
And by these terraces and steps that gleam
Wintry, although the summer night is hot,
This—what we seek is never what we find!
Life is a dream, like love; and from the dream
If we may wake, we never find it what
We would; for the wisdom of a mightier mind
Leads us in its own ways
To a perfected praise.”
― Aleister Crowley, Household Gods

― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“When will you discover that it would be a good idea to memorize your life, even the large part of it that will revolt you?”
