personal reminders on how to go about and around

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”J.R.R. Tolkien

“You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”Hemingway

“How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”Ibid. 

“Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.”Hesse

“I want to live happily in a world I don’t understand.”Taleb

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us” – Kafka

“Since art is merely and ultimately self-expressive,

uninfluenced, unrepressed, uninhibited expression of art
is true expression and the true art.” -Allen Ginsberg
