Alain de Botton
“Cynics are merely idealists with unusually high standards.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

Hanya Yanagihara
“What he knew, he knew from books, and books lied, they made things prettier.”
Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Peter Verhelst
“Ik bleef maar stappen, omdat ik mijn gedachten voor wilde zijn.”
Peter Verhelst, Tonguecat

Alain de Botton
“We don’t need to be constantly reasonable in order to have good relationships; all we need to have mastered is the occasional capacity to acknowledge with good grace that we may, in one or two areas, be somewhat insane.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

Matt Haig
“One cliché attached to bookish people is that they are lonely, but for me books were my way out of being lonely. If you are the type of person who thinks too much about stuff then there is nothing lonelier in the world than being surrounded by a load of people on a different wavelength.”
Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive
