To spend life for something which outlasts it.

No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Exercise keeps me occupied, which is good for my mental health.

Henry Cabot Lodge

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

Virginia Woolf

I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep.

Edward R. Murrow

A manifesto, a diary, a crumpled suicide note, and a still relevant love letter.

Art Spiegelman

One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.

Charles Horton Cooley

There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.

Marlene Dietrich

And of course, in my writing, there is the constant theme of music, love of, preoccupation with, music. Music is the single thread making my life into a coherency.... It's my job and my vice mixed together. You can't hope for better than that: having your job and your sin commingled.

Philip K. Dick
