Isak Dinesen
“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.”
Isak Dinesen, Seven Gothic Tales

Nathan  Hill
“Seeing ourselves clearly is the project of a lifetime.”
Nathan Hill, The Nix

“I saw this cartoon in the paper, once. That Viking, Hagar the Horrible? He’s standing on the mountaintop, holding his hands to the heavens, shouting “Why me?” And down from the heavens comes the answer: “Why not?” Maybe that’s the ultimate truth; what right to do I have to expect a smooth ride?”
Jonathan Kellerman, Survival of the Fittest

James Baldwin
“Whoever debases others is debasing himself.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Aldous Huxley
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow
