Book cover for The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Tennessee Williams
“Make voyages. Attempt them. There's nothing else.”
Tennesse Williams, Camino Real

Jack Kerouac
“And in the flush of the first few days of joy I confidently tell myself (not expecting what I'll do in three weeks only) 'no more dissipation, it's time for me to quietly watch the world and even enjoy it, first in woods like these, then just calmly walk and talk among people of the world, no booze, no drugs, no binges, no bouts with beatniks and drunks and junkies and everybody, no more I ask myself the question O why is God torturing me, that's it, be a loner, travel, talk to waiters, walk around, no more self-imposed agony...it's time to think and watch and keep concentrated on the fact that after all this whole surface of the world as we know it now will be covered with the silt of a billion years in time...Yay, for this, more aloneness”
Jack Kerouac, Big Sur

Norman Maclean
“One of life's quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful even if it is only a floating ash.”
Norman Maclean, River Runs Through It

Ovid
“Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.”
Ovid

Frank Patrick Herbert
“Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
