“Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.”
― Essays in idleness
― Essays in idleness
“Essay writing is an act of rebellion against walking through life as an empty intellectual shell and as an emotional vacuum. Essayists attempt to bridge the gap between meaningful self-exploration and raising conscious awareness of the larger world that we occupy. Essayist need to understand, they seek to broker compromises with the past, and meld truths out of broken shards of their history.”
