Favorite Quotes

“Even as the stone of the fruit must break,that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. ” – Kahlil Gibran

“I have never wished to cater to the crowd: for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.” – Epicurus

“There’s this feeling when that happens. It is terrible, but the dread and anticipation and all that stuff goes away. It’s like going through a bottleneck. It’s like, “Well, it sucks to be in the bottleneck, but on the other side of this, there’s quiet.” Not everybody relates to pain, but if you can watch other people playacting it, you can absorb some of that vibe. It’s like watching horror movies—you want to have the experience, but in a safe environment.” – John Darnielle
