“What a wonderful world it could be, when spiritual factions would choose to read sacred writings as colorful metaphors and not as bloody declarations of war. (鈥淚s heaven a place in the sky?鈥�)”

“What we [writers] do might be done in solitude and with great desperation, but it tends to produce exactly the opposite. It tends to produce community and in many people hope and joy.”

“We open our mouths and out flow words whose ancestries we do not even know. We are walking lexicons. In a single sentence of idle chatter we preserve Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norse; we carry a museum inside our heads, each day we commemorate peoples of whom we have never heard. More than that, we speak volumes 鈥� our language is the language of everything we have read. Shakespeare and the Authorised Version surface in supermarkets, on buses, chatter on radio and television. I find this miraculous. I never cease to wonder at it. That words are more durable than anything, that they blow with the wind, hibernate and reawaken, shelter parasitic on the most unlikely hosts, survive and survive and survive.”

“The monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years, or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter; during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?”

“it strikes me that the writers most deeply concerned with the state of literary fiction and its biases against women could do a lot worse than trying to coin some terms of their own: to name the archetypes they wish to invert or criticise and thereby open up the discussion. If authors can be thought of as magicians in any sense, then the root of our power has always rested with words: choosing them, arranging them and 鈥� most powerfully 鈥� inventing them. Sexism won鈥檛 go away overnight, and nor will literary bias. But until then, if we鈥檙e determined to invest ourselves in bringing about those changes, it only makes sense to arm ourselves with a language that we, and not our enemies, have chosen.

“Something critical happens when the cadre of bilinguals learns to read imported scrolls: they gain entry into a library. I use the word "library" to refer not to a physical building but, more broadly, to the collectivity of accumulated writings. . . . humans possess an ever-increasing store of writings, the totality of which I call the library. The transformation of an oral culture into a written one means, first and foremost, the potential entry of bilinguals into a library.”

“Writings that, you place on the timeline of social media, execute and define only general and public prospects, devotions, connections, and messages, not for individual ones. However, the same writings become personal, when those are inbox to another person; it leaves a direct message.”

“If your writings, book, or any subject can make you notable. It is you, not the subject; similarly, any affair, incident, or event related to you can build your notability, and that happens because of you. You are the main characteristic-figure, not the event.”

“We need silence to be alone with God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep in our hearts. We need to be alone with God in silence to be renewed and transformed. Silence gives us a new outlook on life.”

“One of the defects or deficiency of being a somewhat evolved human being in terms of emotional and practical intelligence is that I see through people. Sometimes I am wrong about them鈥� because I read them based on their output and not their intentions鈥�
I am impatient with slow, unintelligent and lazy people. When they are just being average human beings. I sometimes despise them living this simple and bliss life with no care in the world while I am constantly grappling with figuring out my next move or step in some life mission process I have that keeps sprouting detours, obstacle courses and problems that only delay me and might one day completed undermine my efforts and ambitions.
When it comes to friends, men, family鈥� I have lost some of my ability to have good relations with others鈥�
Simple put, anything or anyone that isn鈥檛 moving towards an end goal, mission or completion, annoys me to a fault and my only solution to that is to disengage and abandon it or them.
Anything that isn鈥檛 aligned to my end goal is a waste of time.
Last but not least, I loathe my indiscipline in certain areas.
Specifically weight loss, I know what I need to do, I still haven鈥檛 done it.
It creates episodes of self loathing where I am forced to reckon/recognize that I have some of the same issues, shortcomings and icks i despise in other human beings.
While they can鈥檛 write a long paragraph, book or dissertation they can commit to running five miles.
And then a part of my brain clicks, a voice says, running for them is writing for you鈥�
They aren鈥檛 that special鈥�
