“The Greek name for a butterfly is Psyche, and the same word means the soul. There is no illustration of the immortality of the soul so striking and beautiful as the butterfly, bursting on brilliant wings from the tomb in which it has lain, after a dull, grovelling, caterpillar existence, to flutter in the blaze of day and feed on the most fragrant and delicate productions of spring. Psyche, then, is the human soul, which is purified by sufferings and misfortunes, and is thus prepared for the enjoyment of true and pure happiness.”
Blake D. Bauer, You Were Not Born to Suffer Sampler: How to Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Freedome, Happiness and Peace

H.P. Lovecraft
“When, after infinities of chaos, the first men came, the Great Old Ones spoke to the sensitive among them by moulding their dreams; for only thus could Their language reach the fleshly minds of mammals.”
H.P. Lovecraft, H. P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction

Franz Kafka
“Girls of that age, though, do become enthusiastic about things and feel they must get their way whenever they can.”
Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis

Rick Rubin
“Turning something from an idea
into a reality
can make it seem smaller.
It changes from unearthly to earthly.

The imagination has no limits.
The physical world does.
The work exists in both.”
Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“We have a world full of women who are unable to exhale fully because they have for so long been conditioned to fold themselves into shapes to make themselves likeable.

So instead of teaching Chizalum to be likeable, teach her to be honest. And kind.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
