Marcus Aurelius
“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Richard Yates
“It's a disease. Nobody thinks or feels or cares any more; nobody gets excited or believes in anything except their own comfortable little God damn mediocrity.”
Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road

Garrison Keillor
“It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars.”
Garrison Keillor

Garrison Keillor
“Life is unjust and this is what makes it so beautiful. Every day is a gift. Be brave and take hold of it.”
Garrison Keillor

Richard Yates
“Intelligent, thinking people could take things like this in their stride, just as they took the larger absurdities of deadly dull jobs in the city and deadly dull homes in the suburbs. Economic circumstances might force you to live in this environment, but the important thing was to keep from being contaminated. The important thing, always, was to remember who you were.”
Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road
