“Oh, he did look like a deity – the perfect balance of danger and charm, he was at the same time fascinating and inaccessible, distant because of his demonstrated flawlessness, and possessing such strength of character that he was dismaying and at the same time utterly attractive in an enticing and forbidden way.”
Simona Panova, Nightmarish Sacrifice

David Foster Wallace
“You know, the whole thing about perfectionism. The perfectionism is very dangerous. Because of course if your fidelity to perfectionism is too high, you never do anything. Because doing anything results in...it's actually kind of tragic because you sacrifice how gorgeous and perfect it is in your head for what it really is. And there were a couple of years where I really struggled with that.”
David Foster Wallace

Aman Raghav
“you have known her for so long
you think you know her
but she hides herself
behind her smile
the right one can hear the
pain in the sound of her
laughter
the real one can feel the
crave for someone to touch
her soul without touching her
if she hasn't cried her heart out
before you
don't say you know her”
Aman Raghav, She: Hope, Faith, and Love

J. Robert Oppenheimer
“Knowledge cannot be pursued without morality.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer

David Foster Wallace
“It's that he persists in the bizarre, adolescent belief that getting to have sex with whomever one wants whenever one wants to is a cure for human despair.”
David Foster Wallace, Consider the Lobster and Other Essays
