Dan Millman
“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.”
Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

Stevie Nicks
“When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted. And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty.”
Stevie Nicks

Dan Millman
“you have to ‘lose your mind’ before you can come to your senses.”
Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

Jack Kerouac
“Be in love with your life, every detail of it.”
Jack Kerouac

Maggie Nelson
“7. But what kind of love is it, really? Don’t fool yourself and call it sublimity. Admit that you have stood in front of a little pile of powdered ultramarine pigment in a glass cup at a museum and felt a stinging desire. But to do what? Liberate it? Purchase it? Ingest it? . . . You might want to reach out and disturb the pile of pigment, for example, first staining your fingers with it, then staining the world. You might want to dilute it and swim in it, you might want to rouge your nipples with it, you might want to paint a virgin’s robe with it. But still you wouldn’t be accessing the blue of it. Not exactly.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets
