"Indecision and reveries are the anesthetics of constructive action." 

-Sylvia Plath.

"What is more tedious than boy-girl episodes? Nothing; yet there is no tedium that will be recorded so eternally."

-Sylvia Plath.

RIP Dr. Oliver W Sacks

“I would like it to be thought that I had listened carefully to what patients and others have told me,” he said, “that I’ve tried to imagine what it was like for them, and that I tried to convey this.

“And, to use a biblical term,” he added, “bore witness.”

Qué raro es que se vayan los grandes de esta existencia que todos de un modo u otro compartimos. Voy a medio camino leyendo la autobiografía de un ser que ya no está. Y sin embargo quedará en la mente de muchos otros que, como yo, lo admirarán siempre.

Walking, parks, brooding.

 "Brooding, which is known among cognitive scientists as morbid rumination, is a mental state familiar to most of us, in which we can’t seem to stop chewing over the ways in which things are wrong with ourselves and our lives. This broken-record fretting is not healthy or helpful. It can be a precursor to depression and is disproportionately common among city dwellers compared with people living outside urban areas, studies show."
