knowledge rationalizes art and therefore inhibits true sensual creativity. Therefore, to alleviate the nausea of absurdity and in turn passivity, one must give in to Dyonisian intoxication through the expression of instinctual art

– Lessing
But why strive for truth at all? Why not make your own reality? Your own purpose for existence?
Dear Sam,
I guess I’m writing you this letter because I know that our parting is inevitable, and I want to do it right. You wouldn’t know this, but when you told me to put my bag down at the Vassar Devils call backs and I noticed you for the first time, I thought that you would be a great person to get to know. However, when I occasionally saw you leaving Kenyon as I was entering, I never would...

When we learn, we must promise to do something more with our newfound knowledge.

San Francisco, I miss you.
HAPPY FUCKING VALENTINES DAY
A lot of pink and red envelopes arrived in the mail today. Even more came in covered with stickers of hearts and swirls or romantic sentiments. I’ve never hated my job sorting mail before. But this day was cutting out to be horrendous. As I put them in their designated boxes one by one, I kept telling myself that one day, one of those envelopes will be for me, and I’ll be able to...
