“Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all. Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go.”

— C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“I want to think. I want to pray. I want to sleep. I want to look at the stars. I want to read books. I want to write books. I’ll write books in the woods. I want what I want.”

Jack Kerouac, from a letter to Allen Ginsberg c. October 1953
