“All language is but a poor translation.”
― Franz Kafka

― Frantz Fanon

“I’VE ALWAYS FOUND that parties are better on rainy nights. I think it’s because bad weather weeds out the ambivalent, the uncommitted. To leave the house in a storm, you must do the work of finding an umbrella or preparing yourself for a soaking. This requires faith that leaving your dry house will pay off, that you will travel through the cold, dark, unwelcoming night and end up somewhere better than where you left.”
― Ada Calhoun, Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give
