“I don't know what everybody else was fantasizing about but what I was fantasizing about was a nine-to-five existence, a house on a tree-lined block with a white picket fence, pink roses in the backyard. [...] After a while you learn that privacy is something you can sell, but you can't buy it back.”
― Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One

“Sometimes the things that you liked the best and that have meant the most to you are the things that meant nothing at all to you when you first heard or saw them.”
― Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One

“The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“They're humble because they're in service. They know they have to practice when they are filled with love. When they are filled with bile. When the sun is out and everyone with a palpably alive soul is on the beach, they are in wood-paneled dumps, practicing. Until they ruin any chance at being substantial and there is no soul on earth who will have them.”
― Marie-Helene Bertino, 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas
