"The shortest short-term investment is to serve ourselves."
"As a woman, I see myself as a garden, and I see myself as the gardener of myself, I see myself forming and pruning and watering and nourishing all the flowers and trees and vines and leaves in me.

And in saving ourselves, we have saved worlds innumerable."

He's in a room with a naked girl, he just won the lottery.

The ephemeral pangs: wistfulness and loneliness. Rest fixed most things. Sleep was my sweet reward. I treated bedtime as both incentive and sacrament."
