i love that period when you find a great book & you don't care about anything except the book. you forget about everything, just you & the book.
“I’m a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can’t throw it away. Some of them are in warehouses. I’ve got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself—I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, ‘F**k, I can’t read two-thirds of these books.’ It overwhelms me with sadness.”
–David Bowie
"The hardest truth is that your greatest work may be seen by no one, and yet you must do it anyway for the one who watches is you."
— Friedrich Nietzsche
