“It’s often the case that brilliant ancient ideas are discarded by science, especially when they have any religious connotations. What ought to be done instead is to repurpose and reformulate these ancient ideas mathematically. So, for example, Aristotle’s Prime Mover can be recast as a Fourier frequency domain at the center of a Fourier spacetime domain. The Prime Mover is immaterial and outside space and time (it’s a Singularity), and controls the material world of spacetime. The latter is an ontological hologram projected by the former.”

Spending is just as natural as income. Income is the breathing in. And breathing out is either investing, spending, or saving. If you don’t breathe out, it will cause blockages that turn your money stagnant. We need the inhale and the exhale. It’s all about balance.”

“it's ok to take
small steps and deep breaths, love…
but you also have to learn to take up your own space.
and to not say you're sorry when you do.
and you're going to be rejected for these
wings you're growing and these fires you're starting…
for all of this sweet and wild rebellion in you…
but these are such. beautiful. things.
so you have to keep choosing you.
because nothing will matter if you reject you.
if it needs you small… you just can't
let it hold you still anymore.”

“It’s okay if you can’t. No worries. Just an idea,” I say quickly, looking away so she won’t see how disappointed I am.
“No—I mean, I want to, but—” Hana sucks in a breath. I hate this, hate how awkward we both are. “I kind of have this party”—she corrects herself quickly—
“this thing I’m supposed to go to with Angelica Marston.”
My stomach gets that hollowed-out feeling. It’s amazing how words can do that, just shred your insides apart. [...]
A rush of hatred overwhelms me. Hatred for my life, for its narrowness and cramped spaces; hatred for Angelica Marston, with her secretive smile and rich parents; hatred for Hana, for being so stupid and careless and stubborn, first and foremost, and for leaving me behind before I was ready to be left; and underneath all those layers something else, too, some white-hot blade of unhappiness flashing in the very deepest part of me. I can’t name it, or even focus on it clearly, but somehow I understand that this—this other thing—makes me the angriest of all. [...]
Despite everything, this gives me pause. In the days after the party at Roaring Brook Farms, snatches of music seemed to follow me everywhere: I heard it winging in and out of the wind, I heard it singing off the ocean and moaning through the walls of the house. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, my heart pounding, with the notes sounding in my ears. But every time I was awake and trying to remember the melodies consciously, hum a few notes or recall any of the chords, I couldn’t.
Hana’s staring at me hopefully, waiting for my response. For a second I actually feel bad for her. I want to make her happy, like I always did, want to see her give a whoop and put her fist in the air and flash me one of her famous smiles. But then I remember she has Angelica Marston now, and something hardens in my throat, and knowing that I’m going to disappoint her gives me a kind of dull satisfaction.”

“It's okay if you don't want to stand up by society's yardstick of what success is. Of course, we want to be financially healthy, and of course, we want to have economic security. We need that, but we also need to be in a place where we can be healthy and mentally sound, where we can show up in the world to be who we really are supposed to be, to give our gifts to the world in an authentic way.”
