I miss having to wonder about any aspect of an artist’s life. [This] was a luxury we don’t have anymore. Whether it’s the people surrounding them revealing things about their process or their personal lives, or the artists themselves going on Twitter and telling you what they’re doing in the middle of the night with their girlfriend — it’s like, ‘Wow, um... I really liked you better before you told me that. I really would like to go back to imagining the person that I was imagining.’

 
Davey Havok
 

There are three kinds of fools in this world, fools proper, educated fools and rich fools. The world persists because of the folly of these fools.

 
Swami Narayanananda
 

The secret of happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible, horrible, horrible.

 
Bertrand Russell
 

In idle wishes fools supinely stay;
Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.

 
George Crabbe
 

"Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia."
"Huh?" I asked.
"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."
