"accidentally took a break from this one for a while (most of my breaks from books are accidental); but I wish I hadn't because it continues to be excellent. i want to share these stories with so many people, and i love feeling excited and absorbed in all these little snapshots of other people's lives."

"THIS IS GARBAGE but i didn't listen to 6 other awful books just to stop now (book 1 wasn't atrocious and 2/3 were tolerable but this is just straight - and i do mean AGGRESSIVELY STRAIGHT - up bad).

this author has some incredibly toxic ideas about relationships."

Stuart Christie
“Anarchists have a 'bad name' in the media, not because they can point to one indiscriminate massacre by anarchists--there have been none--but because the one thing holders of power fear is that they personally should be held responsible for their own actions”
stuart christie

John Green
“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
John Green

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“They never say to you, 'What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?' Instead, they demand 'How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much money does his father make?' Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry / آنتوان دوسنت اگزوپري

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

P.G. Wodehouse
“You would be miserable if you had to go through life with a human doormat with 'Welcome' written on him. You want some one made of sterner stuff. You want, as it were, a sparring-partner, some one with whom you can quarrel happily with the certain knowledge that he will not curl up in a ball for you to kick, but will be there with the return wallop.”
P.G. Wodehouse, Piccadilly Jim
