“forward,”
― Raven Kennedy, Goldfinch

“I found out some time back that it’s idleness breeds all our virtues, our most bearable qualities – contemplation, equableness, laziness, letting other people alone, good digestion mental and physical: the wisdom to concentrate on fleshly pleasures — eating and evacuating and fornication and sitting in the sun — than which there is nothing better, nothing to match, nothing else in all this world but to live for the short time you are loaned breath, to be alive and know it”
― William Faulkner, The Wild Palms

“No matter how dutiful one tried to feel, it was impossible to be sad at leaving this behind, not when the blood ran hot and rich in the veins, and when out in the world there were all the untried beckoning enchantments : dancing, sensuous music, merriment - and love.”
― Anya Seton, Katherine

“Mining lead is alchemically injecting suffering and aggression into the veins of tomorrow.”
― Matthew Edward Hall, San Mateo: Proof of The Divine
