1 " {...} I was okay with things the way they were. No, not okay: I longed and suffered and pined with the rest of humanity. Sometimes I was happy enough with the book I was reading or the book I was writing, and the life I was stuck inside felt like a house on a rainy day. But most of the time I was just plain dying to get out. All I needed—all I have ever needed—was someone to challenge me, to serve as a goad, an instigator, a stirrer of the pot. I hated trouble, but I loved troublemakers. I hated chance and uncertainty, but I was drawn to those who showed up on your doorstep with their own pair of dice. "
― Michael Chabon , Manhood for Amateurs
2 " Remorse is a virtue in that it is a stirrer up of the emotions but it is a folly to accept it is a criticism of conduct. "
― William Carlos Williams , Kora in Hell
