Alan Paton
“I have always found that actively loving
saves one from a morbid preoccupation
with the shortcomings of society.”
Alan Paton

Albert Camus
“You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.”
Albert Camus, Notebooks, 1935-1951

Neil Gaiman
“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.”
Neil Gaiman

Gustave Flaubert
“Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Djuna Barnes
“The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.”
Djuna Barnes, Nightwood
