Henry David Thoreau
“Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them. Their fingers, from excessive toil, are too clumsy and tremble too much for that. Actually, the laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot afford to sustain the manliest relations to men; his honor would be depreciated in the market. He has no time to be anything but a machine.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden & Civil Disobedience

Clara Bensen
“Magic happens when you head out into the unknown with wonder in your right hand and terror in your left.”
Clara Bensen, No Baggage: A Minimalist Tale of Love and Wandering

Nina George
“His father would presumably have signed up without hesitation to the three things that made you really “happy” according to Cuneo’s worldview. One: eat well. No junk food, because it only makes you unhappy, lazy and fat. Two: sleep through the night (thanks to more exercise, less alcohol and positive thoughts). Three: spend time with people who are friendly and seek to understand you in their own particular way. Four: have more sex—but that was Samy’s addition, and Perdu saw no real reason to tell his father that one.”
Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop

Clara Bensen
“Everything is, in any event, fated to disappear. Judged against eternity, how little of what agitates us makes any difference.”
Clara Bensen, No Baggage: A Minimalist Tale of Love and Wandering

Nina George
“Habit is a vain and treacherous goddess. She lets nothing disrupt her rule. She smothers one desire after another: the desire to travel, the desire for a better job or a new love. She stops us from living as we would like, because habit prevents us from asking ourselves whether we continue to enjoy doing what we do.”
Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop
