"Feeling lost, crazy and desperate belongs to a good life as much as optimism, certainty and reason."
"Most of what makes a book 'good' is that we are reading it at the right moment for us."
"The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can't accept that."
