Paul Auster Quote

Being bored is the price we pay for not being insane.

If we had to earn our age by thinking for ourselves at least once a year, only a handful of people would reach adulthood.

Every single person is a fool, insane, a failure, or a bad person to at least ten people.

Millions of sane people would each be sexually attracted to their own parent or child if they were not related to them.

To evade insanity and depression, we unconsciously limit the number of people toward whom we are sincerely sympathetic.

Someone who smiles too much with you can sometime frown too much with you at your back.

Sitting to think of what to write will only set your ass on fire, give you headache, twist your face to look stupid, instead, walk around with a blank mind and something from somewhere will fill it up...

Boredom is probably more frequent and more tormenting if you do not have sight or hands.

We would not be ashamed of doing some of the things we do in private, if the number of sane human beings who do them in public were large enough.

Somewhere between love and hate lies confusion, misunderstanding and desperate hope.
