“Things don't matter, people do”

“How age enamels us, she would say. It builds up in layers and locks us inside our own skin, stopping us from breaking out, preventing the outside from burrowing in.”

“Is nothing in life ever straight and clear the way children see it?”

“Its as simple as that. Simple and complicated, as most true things are.”

“Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.”

“People who pride themselves on their "complexity" and deride others for being "simplistic" should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth.”
