John  Green
“One of the challenges with pain- physical or psychic- is that we can really only approach it through metaphor. It can’t be represented the way a table or a body can. In some ways, pain is the opposite of language”
John Green

Matt Haig
“How to stop time: kiss.
How to travel in time: read.
How to escape time: music.
How to feel time: write.
How to release time: breathe.”
Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“The USA is a great place to be when you are healthy, it is a horrendous place to be when you become too sick to work.”
Steven Magee

“A man's vanity often goes hand in hand with his lack of knowledge.”
Eraldo Banovac

Sam Harris
“There is never a moment where I find Trump persuasive. When I look at him I see a man without any inner life. I see the most superficial person on Earth. This is a guy who has been totally hollowed out by greed and self regard and delusion. If I caught some sort of brain virus and I started talking about myself the way Trump talks about himself, I would throw myself out a fucking window. That barely overstates it. Do you remember that scene at the end of The Exorcist where the priest is driving out the devil from Linda Blair and the devil comes into him and he just hurls himself out the window to end all the madness? Well, it would be like that.”
Sam Harris
