Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

Lemony Snicket
“Boredom is not black licorice, Snicket," she said. "There's no reason to share it with me.”
Lemony Snicket, When Did You See Her Last?

“The coach of a college football team can make thousands, hundreds of thousands, and perhaps even millions of people many of them otherwise stable and superficially reasonable adults insanely angry. I experience churning gastrointestinal distress on Saturdays during the season until Michigan has a lead of at least
seventeen points. In my idle moments, when taking showers and driving my three children around northern New Jersey, I spend more time mentally debating self-posed hypotheses such as. "Did Jim Harbaugh corner himself into a no-man's land between the Wisconsin Iowa system development model and the Ohio/Penn State talent acquisition model?" than I do thinking about any other question, including things such as, "Do I have the right career?" and "What are parents' and children's obligations to each other?" and "What happens to our souls when our bodies die?" This kind of fixation, conducive to neither peace of mind nor personal productivity, is very common.

Why are so many people like this?”
Ben Mathis-Lilley, The Hot Seat: A Year of Outrage, Pride, and Occasional Games of College Football

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
