“I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

“The only difference between fiction and religion is that people don't kill themselves over fiction.”

James Baldwin
“People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

“Truthful hyperbole’ is a contradiction in terms. It’s a way of saying, ‘It’s a lie, but who cares?’ ”
Tony Schwartz

“My paranoia wasn't always right, but just to be on the safe side, I never went to sleep with a clown in the room.”
