A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.

But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

@Quoteitq

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.
― Søren Kierkegaard

The most common form of despair is not being who you are.

@Quoteitq

You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are

—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.
- Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth. Authoritarian institutions and marketers have always known this fact.

Intelligence is not only the ability to reason; it is also the ability to find relevant material in memory and to deploy attention when needed.

@Quoteitq

one of my favorite things in this world is how we pick up little habits and phrases from the people we love. you collect so many pieces of people as you go about this life. you are a mosaic of everyone you've ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.

@Quoteitq

All the books we own, both read and unread, are the fullest expression of self we have at our disposal. ... But with each passing year, and with each whimsical purchase, our libraries become more and more able to articulate who we are, whether we read the books or not.
