“The only thing that makes life tolerable is that people forget most of the stupid things I say as soon as I finish saying them.”
Charlie Jane Anders, The City in the Middle of the Night

Richard Ayoade
“Because to be moved by something made by someone who has done something bad would mean that a bad person possesses the capacity to connect to us; that they haven't, somehow, forfeited their humanity.”
Richard Ayoade, Ayoade on Top

“As he died to make men holy, let us die to make things cheap.”
Leonard Cohen, The Flame

Noam Chomsky
“Don’t forget, part of the whole intellectual vocation is creating a niche for yourself, and if everybody can understand what you’re talking about, you’ve sort of lost, because then what makes you special? What makes you special has got to be something that you had to work really had to understand, and you mastered it, and all those guys out there don’t understand it, and then that becomes the basis for your privilege and your power.”
Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky

Emma Vieceli, Life Is Strange Vol. 3: Strings
