“When I wanted to know something, I wanted it undistorted by somebody else's imperfect knowledge.”
― Milton Erickson

“I'd woken up early, and I took a long time getting ready to exist.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“Genuine and love and the concentrated devotion it involves - "all your heart, and all your soul, and all your might" - is so hard and demands such accumulated wisdom and experience that it might be the fruit only of many generations. Not every generation in a family will necessarily be capable of love. And even when one generation is capable of it, the effort and responsibility for a long moral inheritance - and so for a whole history of fateful choices, deeds, and experiences - might cause its members to slip back into carelessness and forgetfulness.”
― Simon May, Love: A New Understanding of an Ancient Emotion

“Better to write than to dare live, even if living means merely to buy bananas in the sunlight, as long as the sun lasts and there are bananas for sale. Later, perhaps… yes, later…”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
