Ravings of a Mad Man

Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places.

The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Nothing is as beautiful as a person with no room for doubt.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

My overall goal is to create a life that I don’t need to escape from. No long overdue vacations to run away from stress and anxiety. No leaving the house late at night because I’m sick of it. No going to my job and counting the hours until I leave, before I’ve even arrived. I never want to be just existing.

Why can’t people look at their gardens and be amazed without pretending there’s fairies at the bottom of it?

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
