Marcus Aurelius
“The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Aldous Huxley
“The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend”
Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception

“The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.”
Stephen Hawking

Rainer Maria Rilke
“If my devils are to leave me, I am afraid my angels will take flight as well.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Richard Kadrey
“When you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire. But it's not.”
Richard Kadrey, Aloha from Hell
