Megan Boyle
“i am still unsure of what 'life to the fullest' for me would be, mostly i just try to be well-liked in social situations and not die”
Megan Boyle, selected unpublished blog posts of a mexican panda express employee

Judith Butler
“Possibility is not a luxury; it is as crucial as bread.”
Judith Butler, Undoing Gender

David Foster Wallace
“I think the world divides neatly into those who are excited by the managed induction of terror and those who are not. I do not find terror exciting. I find it terrifying. One of my basic goals is to subject my nervous system to as little total terror as possible. The cruel paradox of course is that this kind of makeup usually goes hand in hand with a delicate nervous system that's extremely easy to terrify.”
David Foster Wallace, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments

Djuna Barnes
“For us, books have turned into fast food, to be consumed in the gaps between one bout of relentless living and the next. Airports, subways, maybe half an hour at bedtime, maybe something with the office sandwich, isn’t really ideal.”
Djuna Barnes, Nightwood

David Foster Wallace
“The severing of an established connection is exponentially more painful than the rejection of an attempted connection.”
David Foster Wallace, The Broom of the System
