"...we shall board our imagined ship and wildly sail among sacred islands of the mad till death shatters the fabulous stars and makes us real."

"If I didn’t think, I’d be much happier."
"If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed."
"I ride earth's burning carousel. Day in, day out."
"What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age."
"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited."
