“I've worked extremely hard to become what I naturally am and what I want to be. My manuscripts/books didn't write, rework, edit or invent themselves and my degree didn't do itself either.”
― Bettina Victoria

“Finally, one learns that boredom is a disease of civilization. It seems to me that what boredom mostly is is that people have to keep themselves entertained or occupied, because if they aren’t, then certain anxieties, frustrations, discontents, and so forth, start coming to the surface, and it makes them uncomfortable. Boredom is almost nonexistent once you’ve become adapted to life in the woods. If you don’t have any work that needs to be done, you can sit for hours at a time just doing nothing, just listening to the birds or the wind or the silence, watching the shadows move as the sun travels, or simply looking at familiar objects. And you don’t get bored. You’re just at peace.”
― Theodore J. Kaczynski

“What the hell, I don't know, but to me a home in the suburbs is a sort of isolated hell where nothing happens.
