“So you're a little weird? Work it! A little different? OWN it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!”
Mandy Hale

Ryszard Kapuściński
“There aren't many such enthusiasts born. The average person is not especially curious about the world. He is alive, and being somehow obliged to deal with this condition, feels the less effort it requires, the better. Whereas learning about the world is labor, and a great all-consuming one at that. Most people develop quite antithetical talents, in fact - to look without seeing, to listen without hearing, mainly to preserve onself within oneself.”
Ryszard Kapuściński, Travels with Herodotus

Otto Rank
“It seems that life, in order to maintain itself, must revolt every so often against man's ceaseless attempts to master its irrational forces with his mind.”
Otto Rank, Beyond Psychology

Rupi Kaur
“i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like
when i am sad
i don’t cry i pour
when i am happy
i don’t smile i glow
when i am angry
i don’t yell i burn
the good thing about
feeling in extremes
is when i love
i give them wings
but perhaps
that isn't
such a good thing
cause they always
tend to leave and
you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don't grieve
i shatter”
Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

Friedrich Nietzsche
“لابد من وجود كاتب رديء باستمرار، وذلك لأنه يشبع ذوق الأجيال الشابة التي لم تتطور بعد. ولهذه الأجيال حاجات كالآخرين تماماً، ولو كانت الحياة الإنسانية أطول لكان عدد الناضجين يفوق أو يعادل عدد اللاناضجين، أي أن هناك دوماً غالبية من العقول المتخلفة ذات الذوق الرديء. هذه العقول تطالب، وبكل عنف الشباب، بإرضاء وإشباع حاجاتها وتسبب وجود كتّاب رديئين مخصصين لها.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
