― David Sedaris, Me Talk Pretty One Day

“There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unkown, secret place. The old people came literally to love the soil, and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power. Their teepees were built upon the earth and their altars were made of earth. The soul was soothing, strengthening, cleansing, and healing. That is why the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead of propping himself up and away from its life giving forces. For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives about him.”
― Luther Standing Bear

“Exige beaucoup de toi-même et attend peu des autres.
Beaucoup d'ennuis te seront épargnés.”

“Do you hate people?”

“I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.”
