Zaphod Beeblebrox, adventurer, ex-hippie, good-timer (crook? quite possibly), manic self-publicist, terrible bad at personal relationships, often thought to be completely out to lunch. Douglas Adams
Nothing is therefore more dangerous than solitude. Our imagination, forced by its very nature to unfold, nourished by the fantastic visions of poetry, gives shape to a whole order of creatures of which we are the lowliest, and everything around us seems to be more glorious, everyone else more perfect...If, on the other hand, we can make up our minds to go about our daily tasks, resigned to our feelings, and hardships, we often find that, in spite of our meanderings and procrastinations, we...

George Plimpton

Nothing is so often and so irrevocably missed as the opportunity which crops up daily. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
David Foster Wallace quote: "I think I was very often bored as a child, but boredom is not..."
I think I was very often bored as a child, but boredom is not what I knew it as—what I knew was that I worried a lot David Foster Wallace

[P]erhaps you notice how the denial is so often the preface to the justification. Christopher Hitchens
Zizi was young and often confused about how to live his life, and when he made a choice he clung to it with fierce resolve, as if to beat his uncertainty into submission. Candace Bushnell
Joy must be one of the pivots of our life. It is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like sun in a community. Mother Teresa
in dreams it is often the case that the greatest extravagances seem bereft of their power to astonish and the most improbable chimeras seem commonplace. Cormac McCarthy
