Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“I think I was trying to make my life uncomplicated because everything inside of me was so confusing”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is always as it was between Achilles and Homer: one person has the experience, the sensation, the other describes it. A real writer only gives words to the affects and experiences of others; he is an artist in divining a great deal from the little that he has felt. Artist are by no means people of great passion, but they frequently present themselves as such, unconsciously sensing that others give greater credence to the passions they portray if the artist's own life testifies to his experience in this area. We need only let ourselves go, not control ourselves, give free play to our wrath or our desire, and the whole world immediately cries: how passionate he is! But there really is something significant in a deeply gnawing passion that consumes and often swallows up an individual: whoever experiences this surely does not describe it in dramas, music, or novels. Artists are frequently unbridled individuals, insofar, that is, as they are not artists: but that is something different.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
