“I’m too young for this, I thought. Not too old, as you might expect, but too young, too inept, too uninformed. How come there weren’t any grownups around? Why did everyone just assume I knew what I was doing?”
― Anne Tyler, Three Days in June

“if I had a book or a drink then I didn’t think too much of other things—fools create their own paradise.”
― Charles Bukowski, The Last Night of the Earth Poems: A Poetry Collection on Writing, Death, and City Life
