This is probably one of the biggest reasons why I write 🤔😊
Only through play could I come up with a black hole demi-god character named Richard, long for Dick 😂

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

아직 쓰지 않은 이야기들이 우리를 구할 것이다. 낙원은 언제나 미래형 문장으로 쓰일 것이다.
It is the not-yet-written stories that will save us. Paradise will always be written in the future tense.

Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges.

"I'd far rather be happy than right any day."
"And are you?"
"No, that's where it all falls down, of course."
"Pity," said Arthur with sympathy. "It sounded like quite a good lifestyle otherwise."

‘I’d prefer violence,’ said Vimes loudly. ‘Charges is what I’m going to have to settle for.’ (Feet of Clay)
"I like stories that are about questions, not the answers, the best. I tend to gravitate to stories that take some sort of risk, reside in a state of contradiction, offer nuances and layers and counterpoints. It is so difficult to write about what I’m looking for because the best stories somehow speak to what you didn’t know you were looking for. I love when I feel an intimate and heartfelt connection to a story. Open your heart."
~ Grant Faulkner.

A quote I like and resonate with from the Epic of Gilgamesh (the oldest tale ever written!).
There's not many ancient representations of Siduri.
Hopefully what I drew is not too disgraceful.

You will never find the eternal life that you seek.
Humans are born, they live, then they die, this is the order that the gods have decreed. But until the end comes, enjoy your life, spend it in happiness, not despair. Savor your food, make each of your days a delight, bathe and anoint yourself, wear bright closes that are sparkling clean, let music and dancing fill your house, love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace.
That is the best way for a man to live.

"The trouble is we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."
—Ursula K. Le Guin
