A miserable little pile of secrets.” Novala Takemoto: “Most people are full of themselves and speak only the obnoxiously superficial. In other words, they’re annoying as hell.” Emil Cioran: “The multiplication of our kind borders on the obscene; the duty to love them, on the preposterous.” Charles Bukowski again: “People diminish me.
