Every Moment Of Life Wants To Tell Us Something, But We Do Not Want To Hear What It Has To Say: When

Every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear what it has to say: when we are alone and quiet we are afraid that something will be whispered into our ear and hence we despise quiet and drug ourselves with sociability.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Unpublished Writings from the Period of Unfashionable Observations

Jenny Bloomfield, Cats in a Meadow

Whenever your asshole neighbor makes you wonder "ugh why don't they mind their own business"

Kindly remind yourself that

You Are Their Business!

They're actually pissed because you're trying to interrupt their business.... 🤣

You love the accidental. A smile from a pretty girl in an interesting situation, a stolen glance, that is what you are hunting for, that is a motif for your aimless fantasy. You who always pride yourself on being an observateur must, in return, put up with becoming an object of observation. Ah, you are a strange fellow, one moment a child, the next an old man; one moment you are thinking most earnestly about the most important scholarly problems, how you will devote your life to them, and the next you are a lovesick fool. But you are a long way from marriage.

Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
