"I was never a big fan of people who don’t leave home. I don’t know why. It just seems part of your duty in life."

Joan Didion, The Art of Nonfiction No. 1

"Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence—whether much that is glorious, whether all that is profound—does not spring from disease of thought—from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect. They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their gray visions they obtain glimpses of eternity, and thrill, in awakening, to find that they have been upon the verge of the great secret."

Edgar Allan Poe, “Eleonora”

"That’s one of the damnedest things I ever found out about human emotions and how treacherous they can be—the fact that you can hate a place with all your heart and soul and still be homesick for it. Not to speak of the fact that you can hate a person with all your heart and soul and still long for that person."

Joe Gould, from Joe Gould’s Secret, by Joseph Mitchell

"The first step toward self-reform is to admit your deficiencies. Though my early adulthood has been a protracted education in them, I do not admit mine. I’m fine. It’s the rest of you who have a problem. Fuck all y’all."

Wesley Yang, “Paper Tigers”

This is my personal favorite song by the Andrews Sisters. Patty’s dance moves around 2:08 are the best.

They were so talented for women who couldn’t read music.
