Book cover for Hill
“Are you in pain?” “In my head.” “You have a headache?” “No. It’s not aching like other people’s. It’s full . . . just full, and it’s cracking up all by itself, in the dark, like an old washbasin.

Fernando Pessoa
“I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa
“I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me. A nearby field, a ray of sunlight, a little bit of calm along with a bit of bread, not to feel oppressed by the knowledge that I exist, not to demand anything from others, and not to have others demand anything from me - this was denied me, like the spare change we might deny a beggar not because we're mean-hearted but because we don't feel like unbuttoning our coat.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before," Bokonon tells us. "He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

“And yet it is within the powers of a boring book to bore even the mind of God, as God well knows.”
Selina Meyer, A Woman First: First Woman: A Memoir
