Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

Pablo Neruda
“Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.”
Pablo Neruda

Italo Calvino
“Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness.”
Italo Calvino

“Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.”
Joss Whedon

Nicholas Carr
“What the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. Whether I’m online or not, my mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.”
Nicholas G. Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains
