"Commute book for when I don’t have my paperback Dostoevsky. Seneca is still as helpful as I found him years ago (maybe little character development on my part?)." Nov 16, 2025 10:37PM

"Bratja! Oh Brothers! Honestly have a lot of high hopes for this one - everyone I’ve talked to has hyped up Brothers Karamazov." Nov 11, 2025 06:31AM

Book cover for My Name is Rachel Corrie (NHB Modern Plays)
I guess I've grown up a little, it's all relative anyway, nine years is as long as forty years depending on how long you've lived.

Dante Alighieri
“In that book which is my memory,
On the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you,
Appear the words, ‘Here begins a new life’.”
Dante Alighieri, Vita Nuova

Marcus Aurelius
“Asia and Europe: tiny corners of the Cosmos. Every sea: a mere drop. Mount Athos: a lump of dirt. The present moment is the smallest point in all eternity. All is microscopic, changeable, disappearing. All things come from that faraway place, either originating directly from that governing part which is common to all, or else following from it as consequences. So even the gaping jaws of the lion, deadly poison, and all harmful things like thorns or an oozing bog are products of that awesome and noble source. Do not imagine these things to be alien to that which you revere, but turn your Reason to the source of all things.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Vladimir Nabokov
“I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes”
Vladimir Nabokov

Ernest Hemingway
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
Ernest Hemingway

Frank Herbert
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
