“How can we ever stop looking? How can we ever turn away?”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

“What accounts for this hesitation? Why do we love committers but act like browsers? I think it’s because of three fears. First, we have a fear of regret: we worry that if we commit to something, we will later regret having not committed to something else. Second, we have a fear of association: we think that if we commit to something, we will be vulnerable to the chaos that that commitment brings to our identity, our reputation, and our sense of control. Third, we have a fear of missing out: we feel that if we commit to something, the responsibilities that come with it will prevent us from being everything, everywhere, to everyone.”
Pete Davis, Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing

Nikola Tesla
“There is no subject more captivating, more worthy of study, than nature. To understand this great mechanism, to discover the forces which are active, and the laws which govern them, is the highest aim of the intellect of man.”
Nikola Tesla

George Orwell
“Has it ever struck you that there’s a thin man inside every fat man, just as they say there’s a statue inside every block of stone?”
George Orwell, Coming Up for Air

Freya Marske
“I am nothing like you, and yet I feel more myself with you.”
