“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”
Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

R.A. Hakok
“the magic of turning marks on a page into images, sounds, feelings; a whole other world into which you can escape when the one around you isn’t to your liking.”
R.A. Hakok, Among Wolves

R.F. Kuang
“Amateurs obsess over strategy, Irjah had once told their class. Professionals obsess over logistics”
R.F. Kuang, The Poppy War

Thich Nhat Hanh
“When we get angry, we suffer. If you really understand that, you also will be able to understand that when the other person is angry, it means that she is suffering. When someone insults you or behaves violently towards you, you have to be intelligent enough to see that the person suffers from his own violence and anger. But we tend to forget. We think that we are the only one that suffers, and the other person is our oppressor. This is enough to make anger arise, and to strengthen our desire to punish. We want to punish the other person because we suffer. Then, we have anger in us; we have violence in us, just as they do. When we see that our suffering and anger are no different from their suffering and anger, we will behave more compassionately. So understanding the other is understanding yourself, and understanding yourself is understanding the other person. Everything must begin with you.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger

Christian Kiefer
“I don’t care what you meant to do. I really don’t.
I only care about what you actually do. That’s important. The rest of it is just a bunch of bull shit.
--- Grace.”
Christian Kiefer, The Animals
