Lyla

“Beneath the dream of fame, another dream, a dream of no longer dissolving and staying dissolved in the grey, faceless and insipid mass of commodities, a dream of turning into a notable, noticed and coveted commodity, a talked about commodity, a commodity standing out from the mass of commodities, a commodity impossible to overlook, to deride, to be dismissed. In a society of consumers, turning into a desirable commodity is the stuff of which dreams, and fairy tales, are made.”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Consuming Life

“Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.”
