Five quotes for a middle-of-the-week pause:

1) "Relying on craft and routine is much less sexy than being an artistic genius. But it is an excellent strategy for not going insane." - Christoph Niemann.

2) "Every age has its outlook. It is especially good at seeing certain truths and especially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need books that will correct the characteristic errors of our period. And that means the old books...

To be sure, the books of the future would be just as good a corrective as the books of the past, but unfortunately, we cannot get at them." - C.S. Lewis.

3) "I walked myself into my best thoughts." - Søren Kierkegaard

4) "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." - William Bruce Cameron

5) “The violence of positivity does not deprive, it saturates; it does not exclude, it exhausts.” - Byung-Chil Han
