new week: words of others

i've always loved inspirational quotations, but my internal hipster has always preferred something quirkier than your average "dance like nobody's watching" insta-pic.  to kick off the week, here are a few words i've read over the years that have stuck with me, made me think, and reminded me i'm not alone.  hope everybody has an amazing week!

"any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out." - anton chekhov

"time is not even.  space is not empty." - tite of eiko and koma performance art

"it enlarges the heart. something bigger than the self." - david foster wallace, infinite jest

"you can't regret the life you didn't lead." - junot diaz, the brief wonderous life of oscar wao

"my heart was a hysterical, unreliable organ." - vladimir nabokov, lolita

"does she like a lot of teal?" - my brother, on determining whether or not a woman has taste.

oh and hey PS...

i got a new car!

  3. Oh, and everything Mafalda ever said ever! (My favorite: "In the end, humanity is just the meat filling in an earth and sky sandwich.")
