“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“A textbook on chess can be nothing more than a guide for the amateur, a friend in time of need, warning him against pitfalls and revealing to him in leisure hours enough of the beauty and fascination of our art to give him that sense of enjoyment in chess which is the essential condition of success.”
― Richard Réti, Masters of the Chessboard

“It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.”
― Bill Watterson

“I'll read my books and I'll drink coffee and I'll listen to music and I'll bolt the door.”
― J.D. Salinger, A Boy in France
