“You see monks with their calming robes and shiny golden heads and assume they’re all beings of pure eternal tranquility, but then you see some outside a monastery smoking cigarettes glued to their phones and you remember everyone’s on a journey.”
Anthony Killeen, The Wanderer: Last Days in Nepal

“It’ll probably even take a few minutes for our audacious bodacious book nutter brains to get what’s going on here. To get onboard with the slower pace found in book land.
They’re used to the fast life after all.
Our brains are used to blistering 50 meme-a-minute scrolling speeds, always and forever chasing that next hit of methamphetamemes.”
Anthony Killeen, The Wanderer: Last Days in Nepal

“Sitting down to read a book today is an act of rebellion. A rebellion against Big Algorithm. Against the Short Attention Span illuminati, who if have their way, will make every book a banned book.”
Anthony Killeen, The Wanderer: Last Days in Nepal

“I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be, and so I'm on my way home.”
Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan - No Direction Home: A Martin Scorsese Picture

“As long as you live, keep learning how to live.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty page and I could do anything I wanted.”
Jack Kerouac

“I promise I shall never give up, and that I'll die yelling and laughing, and that until then I'll rush around this world I insist is holy and pull at everyone's lapel and make them confess to me and to all.”
Jack Kerouac

“To create is to live twice.”
Albert Camus
