Richard Wright
“The artist must bow to the monster of his own imagination.”
Richard Wright

Guy Gavriel Kay
“Truth" when examining events and records of the past was always precarious, uncertain. No man could say for certain how the river of time would have flowed, cresting or receding, bringing floods or gently watering fields, had a single event, or even many, unfolded differently.

It is in the nature of existence under heaven, the dissenting scholars wrote, that we cannot know these things with clarity. We cannot live twice, or watch as moments of the past unfurl, like a courtesan's silk fan. The river flows, the dancers finish their dance. If the music starts again it is starting anew, not repeating itself.”
Guy Gavriel Kay, Under Heaven

Baruch Spinoza
“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.”
Spinoza

Ryan Boudinot
“The world is full of precious garbage.”
Ryan Boudinot, Blueprints of the Afterlife

Jenny  Lawson
“The amount of money I would pay for people to stop fucking up grammar is only slightly lower than the amount I’d give to ensure I never have grammatical errors in the statements I make calling others out on their grammatical errors.”
Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
