Book cover for The Elegance of the Hedgehog
Adults have this neurotic relationship with death, it gets blown out of all proportion, they make a huge deal out of it when in fact it’s really the most banal thing there is.

Robert M. Pirsig
“You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

Jorge Luis Borges
“I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart, I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Robert M. Pirsig
“Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive”
Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Jorge Luis Borges
“Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.”
Jorge Luis Borges
