“You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that’s all.”
—Dear Sugar, The Rumpus
“If you don’t feel it, flee from it. Go where you are celebrated, not merely tolerated.”
—Paul F. Davis
“The trouble is, you think you have time.”

“Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.”
—Henry Miller
“Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.”
—Dostoevsky
