Quote by Karl Kristian Flores

“Surely we can take anything we want from anything, but to interpret a work as whatever we’d like is to fill in someone’s careful recipe with all of our old ingredients. You can still eat it, but you’ll always wonder why every new thing tastes the same.”

It's usually things you're obsessed about.”

“Worries genius or happy simpleton? The moment you get caught with the reading bug and learning, you get addicted to it, and you have to know that your mind is going to process stuff and the debate starts happening [in the head] and it’s forever— it never stops. You lose a little bit of happiness when you get too interested in wanting to get certain questions answered in life because it’s never going to end. If you choose to subscribe to wanting to be a lifelong learner you must be ready to lose some happiness and freedom that you once had when you didn’t know everything.”
