"1/3 of the way through the book and I'm starting to wonder if the beginning was a race to get to this point. Not that I haven't enjoyed them. It's just that Kerouac seems much more invested in the writing here." Dec 29, 2013 05:14AM

Douglas Adams
“The point is, you see," said Ford, "that there is no point in driving yourself mad trying to stop yourself going mad. You might just as well give in and save your sanity for later.”
Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

Alan W. Watts
“Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.”
Alan Watts

Alejandra Pizarnik
“Melancholia is, I believe, a musical problem: a dissonance, a change in rhythm. While on the outside everything happens with the vertiginous rhythm of a cataract, on the inside is the exhausted adagio of drops of water falling from time to tired time. For this reason the outside, seen from the melancholic inside, appears absurd and unreal, and constitutes ‘the farce we all must play’. But for an instant – because of a wild music, or a drug, or the sexual act carried to its climax – the very slow rhythm of the melancholic soul does not only rise to that of the outside world: it overtakes it with an ineffably blissful exorbitance, and the soul then thrills animated by delirious new energies”
Alejandra Pizarnik

“Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.”
Penn Jillette
