How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?

That if you could acquire enough, accomplish enough, you’d never want to own or do another thing. That if you could eat or sleep enough, you’d never need more. That if enough people loved you, you’d stop needing love.

Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.

If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't.

That's how a good story works. It changes how you feel. It brings you to a greater appreciation, a greater joy, of your own existence.

Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.

I think standardization is really the first step to something being commodified.
