“Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.”
― Joan Didion, Blue Nights

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Political writing in our time consists almost entirely of prefabricated phrases bolted together like the pieces of a child's Meccano set. It is the unavoidable result of self-censorship. To write in plain, vigorous language one has to think fearlessly, and if one thinks fearlessly one cannot be politically orthodox.”
― George Orwell, Essays

“My ambition is handicapped by laziness”
― Charles Bukowski, Factotum
