“There’s nothing wonderful or interesting about unrequited love. I think it’s shitty, just plain shitty. To love someone who doesn’t return your affections might be exciting in books, but in life it’s unbearably boring. I’ll tell you what’s exciting: sweaty, passionate nights. But sitting on the veranda outside the home of a sleeping woman who isn’t dreaming about you is slow moving and just plain sad.” ThinkingBookHomeDreamMightMovingNightSleepInterestingWonderfulReturnSittingExcitingPassionateAffectionBoringUnrequited LoveLove SomeoneUnrequitedDreaming About You Book:A Fraction of the Whole Source: A Fraction of the Whole
“I believe everything is autobiographical. If it's not strictly about you, it's your peers, your obsessions, things that make you angry, or things that you've been watching or obsessing about. Preoccupying you for reasons you don't necessarily know, but it's about you. It says a lot about you. It's like when someone tells you their dream and you sit there going, "Do you realize how much you're revealing about yourself right now?" It's kind of embarrassing.” BelieveKindReasonDreamI BelieveRealizingObsessionAbout YourselfEmbarrassing Author:Steve Toltz
“I've been labelled many times - a criminal, an anarchist, a rebel, sometimes human garbage, but never a philosopher, which is a pity because that's what I am. I chose a life apart from the common flow, not only because the common flow makes me sick but because I question the logic of the flow, and not only that - I don't know if the flow exists! Why should I chain myself to the wheel when the wheel itself might be a construct, an invention, a common dream to enslave us?” IfsKnowsShouldHumansSometimesDreamMightCommonFlowLogicSickPhilosopherCriminalsInventionPityChainsWheelsRebelShould IConstructsGarbageAnarchist Author:Steve Toltz
