Book cover for Universal Harvester
Not everybody wants to get out and see the world. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you just want to figure out how to fit yourself into the world you already know.

Jorge Luis Borges
“Then he reflected that reality does not usually coincide with our anticipation of it; with a logic of his own he inferred that to forsee a circumstantial detail is to prevent its happening. Trusting in this weak magic, he invented, so that they would not happen, the most gruesome details.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Collected Fictions

Mark Z. Danielewski
“Losing the possibility of something is the exact same thing as losing hope and without hope nothing can survive.”
Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

Jorge Luis Borges
“I have no way of knowing whether the events that I am about to narrate are effects or causes.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Collected Fictions

Rainer Maria Rilke
“If we surrendered
to earth's intelligence
we could rise up rooted, like trees.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

Mark Z. Danielewski
“For some reason, you will no longer be the person you believed you once were. You'll detect slow and subtle shifts going on all around you, more importantly shifts in you. Worse, you'll realize it's always been shifting, like a shimmer of sorts, a vast shimmer, only dark like a room. But you won't understand why or how.”
Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
