“I had a strong sudden instinct that I must be alone. I didn’t want to see any people at all. I had seen so many people all my life -- I was an average mixer, but more than average in a tendency to identify myself, my ideas, my destiny, with those of all classes that came in contact with. I was always saving or being saved -- in a single morning I would go through the emotions ascribable to Wellington at Waterloo. I lived in a world of inscrutable hostiles and inalienable friends and supporters.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up

“Only where there is life can there be home.”

“The word in your mouth is anarchy.”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

“Hey, Hank, I notice all the women around your place lately ... good looking stuff; you're doing all right."

― Charles Bukowski
