“They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me…”

 “I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down.”

Be honest but don't be quiet
Be silent but don't talk
Don't open your mouth where there is no value
Stand up for yourself where it is needed
Don't wait for someone to come and do something for you.

I can't sleep anymore. It's too much like death.

 “Spiders evidently as surprised by the weather as the rest of us: their webs were still everywhere - little silken laundry lines with perfect snowflakes hung out in rows to dry.”

― Leslie Land, The 3000-Mile Garden: An Exchange of Letters on Gardening, Food, and the Good Life

“I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference” Jack Kerouac

 “So therefore I dedicate myself to myself, to my art, my sleep, my dreams, my labors, my sufferances, my loneliness, my unique madness, my endless absorption and hunger - because I cannot dedicate myself to any fellow being.”

— Jack Kerouac

Be who you are and be that well. St. Francis de Sales
