Hunter S. Thompson
“Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.”
Hunter S. Thompson

Malcolm X
“I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being or one human being living around and with another human being.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Thich Nhat Hanh
“Interbeing is the understanding that nothing exists separately from anything else. We are all interconnected. By taking care of another person, you take care of yourself. By taking care of yourself, you take care of the other person. Happiness and safety are not individual matters. If you suffer, I suffer. If you are not safe, I am not safe. There is no way for me to be truly happy if you are suffering. If you can smile, I can smile too. The understanding of interbeing is very important. It helps us to remove the illusion of loneliness, and transform the anger that comes from the feeling of separation.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, How to Fight

Thomas Pynchon
“He decided that we suffer from great temporal homesickness for the decade we were born in.”
Thomas Pynchon, V.

Flannery O'Connor
“Even a child with normal feet was in love with the world after he had got a new pair of shoes.”
Flannery O'Connor, Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories
