Quote by Chloe Benjamin

“We know something about reality, my father and I. And I bet you know it, too. Is it that reality is too much? Too painful, too limited, too restrictive of joy or opportunity? No,' she says. 'I think it's that reality is not enough.”

“Conventional wisdom says that positive thinking is the key to success. You need to picture yourself or visualize for yourself the perfect outcome, the best possible result. You need to go into what you are doing with an absolutely positive mindset, whether it is a presentation, a job interview, a date, or a much bigger project as if nothing could go wrong. While positive thinking has always been preached, it has gained much more popularity recently thanks to the books that talk about the Law of Attraction as if it is a scientific law that always works. I am here to tell you that if you are always thinking positive and have been indoctrinated by the positive thinking mantras, believing that nothing could go wrong, you are dramatically lowering your chances of success, because in real life things go wrong all the time.”

“Yes. America is burning, and the fire is so big that it obscures reality, so big that we all bought tickets, so big that we enjoy watching, so big that we say, “Fire is all there is, all there ever will be, and so I’ll burn too.” But could we snuff it out? Could we finally see the ashes and the truth that lies in their flakes? Would we want to see it? It doesn’t matter what we want. That’s all that’s mattered so far and look where it got us. Yes. I can pour the first bucket. No fire wants to be put out, but it doesn’t want to burn either. It’s just reacting. Everything and everyone is just reacting constantly. And now I am going act, to operate outside the fire, to be the first wave of a deluge that will end America as we know it. Good riddance.”

“You know that feeling when you suddenly realize that you are alive, that you’ve lived days without noticing that you’re alive, days without realizing that you control the most minute movements of your extremities, days without truly thinking about the impact of every little thing you do, days without living at all, days of merely existing...”
