The equation Bubble Tea = Something to Look Forward To depressurizes the misery of capitalism and is a Hello Kitty band-aid on the festering wound of Neo-Liberalism.

I would love to love something, especially if I could do it without feeling like I was watching it die right in front of me.

I light candles. I meditate. And I don't believe in anything. By default I move simultaneously towards mysticism and atheism. It's not something that's ever going to get fixed.

The world is a violent child none of us will get to see grow up.

For me it comes down to one thing: I'm trying to follow my own nature.

At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.

God wears white flannels.

The heavier crop is ever in others' fields.

Everybody knows worse of himself than he knows of other men.
