"Poetry makes nothing happen."

--

W. H. Auden

“Success to me is being able to do what I love, make a living at it and to support myself and the ones I love.”
“Well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier to program in C is that you can't easily express complex problems in C, so you don't.”
“I'm inspired by dreams and shadows, obsession and desire. By nature, I'm a dream collector and never stop working. I question people about their weirdest dreams and the strangest, most inexplicable experiences they've had. All this information whirls around in my mind, and new dreams emerge that form the seeds of stories and novels.”
“No matter how much I try to be plain, people don't accept me, so I might as well be fabulous.”
“The Lord filled me with desire, and made me feel that I must be as much with Him alone as with souls in public.”
“This book is dedicated to the rule breakers, the troublemakers, and the revolutionaries. Sometimes the hand that feeds you needs a good bite.”
“Humans are wired to feel uncomfortable with uncertainty and contingency, and so we gravitate to a position after a short time even if we have no new information.”
“Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten.”
