― Anais Nin

“That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“He was dignity distorted, bravery become knavery, sanctimoniousness masking sin. He was a mirror, jeering at the subject it reflected. Yet so muted were the jeers, so delicate the inaccuracies of delineation, that they evaded detection. True and false were blended together. The false was merely an extended shadow of the true.”
― Jim Thompson, Swell-Looking Babe

“The world is not to be put in order. The world is order. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.”
― Henry Miller
