Michael Ventura
“They think I may be dangerous, and I am, but not in the way they fear. I have tasted of Paradise. Not because I wanted to. I didn't want to. But it has borne down upon me and there is no escaping it any more. All Things Are Possible. It bears down upon everyone and we run from it as hard as we can and many manage to keep it at bay, but I have not, I am condemned, now, never.... to settle... for the lesser.... ever... again. And yes, that makes me a dangerous man.

They think I have become one of the wild animals at the zoo, and I have become one of the wild animals at the zoo.

This is a great day.”
Michael Ventura, The Zoo Where You're Fed to God

“He became a surgeon because he was afraid of knives. He got married because he was afraid of women. He had a child because he was afraid of responsibility. Now, his marriage over and his child no longer speaking to him, he turned off all the lights in the house because he was afraid of the dark”

“In joy, our choices may appear to be few, but one's responses are anything but confined, they're inspired, expanded.”

“That's what America's all about, man, if it's about anything. You can choose your own name.”
Michael Ventura, Night Time Losing Time

Karl Ove Knausgård
“And it's a disquieting thought that not even the past is done with, even that continues to change, as if in reality there is only one time, for everything, one time for every purpose under heaven. One single second, one single landscape, in which what happens activates and deactivates what has already happened in endless chain reactions, like the processes that take place in the brain, perhaps, where cells suddenly bloom and die away, all according to the way the winds of consciousness are blowing.”
Karl Ove Knausgård, A Time for Everything
