Altered opinions do not alter a man’s character (or do so very little); but they do illuminate individual aspects of the constellation of his personality which with a different constellation of opinions had hitherto remained dark and unrecognizable.
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All-Too-Human, trans. R. J. Hollingdale (via proustitute)

Back in the old days, women and men had all sorts of strategies to say ‘thank you but no thank you’ [to potential dates.] But the idea that somebody now could think typing ‘not interested’ and then maybe add a little yellow emoticon frowny face and hit send … what this digital revolution has given us with one hand, its taken away with another — just some basic human skills.
— Philip Galanes gives advice for how to break up online. (Hint: Don’t.)

I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. If you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think that you would have the courage to write it? What is true for writing and for a love relationship is true also for life. The game is worthwhile insofar as we don’t know what will be the end.
