Sanhita Baruah
“And maybe life isn't as hard as it seems to be
Every day could be a mess , but darling, you see
One of the few places you will always find peace
Owes its breeze to the constant chaos in the sea ...”
Sanhita Baruah

Tom Robbins
“The camel has a big dumb ugly hump. But in the desert, where prettier, more streamlined beasts die quickly of thirst, the camel survives quite nicely. As legend has it, the camel carries its own water, stores it in its stupid hump. If individuals, like camels, perfect their inner resources, if we have the power within us, then we can cross any wasteland in relative comfort and survive in arid surroundings without relying on the external. Often, moreover, it is our "hump" - that aspect of our being that society finds eccentric, ridiculous, or disagreeable - that holds our sweet waters, our secret well of happiness, the key to our equanimity in malevolent climes.”
Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

Amal El-Mohtar
“(Adventure works in any strand—it calls to those who care more for living than for their lives.)”
Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

Max Gladstone
“A desire to be apart, sometimes, to understand who I am without the rest. And what I return to, the me-ness that I know as pure, inescapable self . . . . is hunger. Desire. Longing, this longing to possess, to become, to break like a wave on a rock and reform, and break again, and wash away.”
Max Gladstone, This Is How You Lose the Time War

Marcus Aurelius
“If they’ve made a mistake, correct them gently and show them where they went wrong. If you can’t do that, then the blame lies with you. Or no one.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
