Book cover for The Assistants
I’d learned anything from reading Hamlet in my senior-year Shakespeare colloquium, or from consuming ceaseless Nike commercials throughout the midnineties, it was to just frigging do it already.

Thomas Mann
“Yet each, in itself—this was the uncanny, the anti-organic, the life-denying character of them all—each of them was absolutely symmetrical, icily regular in form. They were too regular, as substance adapted to life never was to this degree—the living principle shuddered at this perfect precision, found it deathly, the very marrow of death—Hans Castorp felt he understood now the reason why the builders of antiquity purposely and secretly introduced minute variation from absolute symmetry in their columnar structures.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Helen Oyeyemi
“More than friends, eh? More than friends... You know, my mother once told me that half of the hatred that springs up between people is rooted in this mistaken belief that there's any human relationship more sacred than friendship.”
Helen Oyeyemi, Gingerbread

Jo Hamya
“Now, even to me, it seemed ridiculous to concede that I had accumulated substantial debt and a few degrees so that I might contractually labor for the sake of having two free days a week in which to cook a meal in a kitchen I could not actually afford to own, for a small crowd of people my age who spent their lives do- ing the same”
Jo Hamya, Three Rooms

Salvador Espriu
“EUMOLP: Sé tots els mots que amaguen la solitud de l’home, no he d’aprendre res més.”
Salvador Espriu, Antígona

Thomas Mann
“Passionate—that means to live for the sake of living. But one knows that you all live for sake of experience. Passion, that is self-forgetfulness. But what you all want is self-enrichment.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain
