Quotes: Sunday 4th January 2026

Hey :)

Here are five quotes that have inspired me recently:

"What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours. That is what you must be able to attain."

- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“If it catches you sneaking out, boredom will try to talk you into taking your phone. If you do, you’ll be taking boredom with you.”

- Lynda Barry

“The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. Each evening we see the sun set. We know that the earth is turning away from it. Yet, the knowledge, the explanation, never quite fits the sight.”

- John Berger, Ways of Seeing

“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”

 - Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

“Make things up in the morning, and sell them in the afternoon.”

 - John Waters
