Where does a thought go when it's forgotten?
- Sigmund Freud

Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.
- Sigmund Freud



I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
- Orson Welles

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Trumpet, 1984


To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control.
- Martha C. Nussbaum, philosopher

Our emotional life maps our incompleteness: A creature without any needs would never have reasons for fear, or grief, or hope, or anger.
- Martha C. Nussbaum, philosopher
