“You can never know if a person forgives you when you wrong them. Therefore it is existentially important to you. It is a question you are intensely concerned with. Neither can you know whether a person loves you. It’s something you just have to believe or hope. But these things are more important to you than the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. You don't think about the law of cause and effect or about modes of perception when you are in the middle of your first kiss.”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy

“I need solitude for my writing; not 'like a hermit' - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man.”

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin

“Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?”
― Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
