"There is always some madness in love. But there is always also some reason in madness." - Friedrich Nietzsche
"If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience and creation.

"Things get bad for all of us, almost continually, and what we do under the constant stress reveals who/what we are." - Charles Bukowski
