As it happens I am comfortable with the Michael Laskis of this world, with those who live outside rather than in, those in whom the sense of dread is so acute that they turn to extreme and doomed commitments; I know something about dread myself, and appreciate the elaborate systems with which some people manage to fill the void, appreciate all the opiates of the people, whether they are as accessible as alcohol and heroin and promiscuity or as hard to come by as faith in God or History.

- Joan Didion, Comrade Laski, C. P. U. S. A. (M.-L.)

Father, by giving me nothing you gave me everything.

By not loving me, you taught me that love is an absolute necessity.

By denying God, you taught me to value life.

true

“It ends or it doesn’t. That’s what you say. That’s how you get through it. The tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. It ends or it doesn’t. If the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it. If they don’t come back, you sleep in the middle of the bed, learn how to make enough coffee for yourself alone. Adapt. Adjust. It ends or it doesn’t. It ends or it doesn’t. We do not perish.”

— Caitlyn Siehl, It Ends or it Doesn’t

“I have moved from the house of scholars and even banged the door behind me, for my soul sat hungry at their table too long. I am not, like them, trained to pursue knowledge as if it were nut-cracking. I love freedom and the air over the fresh earth, and would rather sleep on ox hides than on their decorums and respectabilities.”

—F. Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Part Two, “On Scholars” (edited excerpt).
