“The path to wisdom leads downward, and anyone who decides to take it had better buckle on armor, remember to bring a sword, and get used to the idea that when and if he gets back everyone he talks to is going to think he's a phony.”
― Peter Straub

“My reading list grows exponentially. Every time I read a book, it'll mention three other books I feel I have to read. It's like a particularly relentless series of pop-up ads.”
― A.J. Jacobs, The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible

“The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.”
― Philip Roth, American Pastoral

“If you bleed all over my floors trying to escape, I'll be forced to track you down and haul you back here to clean them."
I blink. It's so close to what I was thinking that it's almost eerie. "You are the strangest man I've ever met."

"Exactly. What? What kind of threat is that? You're worried about your floors?"
"They're nice floors.”
― Katee Robert, Neon Gods
