Your mind is a treasure house that you should stock well and it’s the one part of you the world can’t interfere with.

...there is no better time to examine and understand one’s selfhood than when it is dissected and hurtling through darkness.

you ask me a question I'll give you an answer…but don't look at me when I say something you don't want to hear.
