Anthony Marais said this quote

“ It’s not words, but years we should be editing. Remember: time spent on bad art is a form of redundancy, doing the same thing twice is a form of tautology, and wasting precious moments complaining about life is a form of pleonasm. We should all learn to live our lives concisely. ”

Proximity to reality induces feelings of emptiness, horror and depression. Do not approach it alone.

~ Anthony Marais

We cannot escape the longing, no matter what life we choose. We’re either longing for people, places or times gone by, which are essentially the same things: memories. And, whether or not we travel, the older we get, the more memories we collect. Nostalgia is simply the result of aging and liking the life you’ve lived. Be happy you can feel it—it’s a good sign.

~ Anthony Marais

Literature is the product of a deep-seated need for honesty. Hence, those who lie most are struck most deeply by it, and those who are honest have no need for it.

~ Anthony Marais

We are not born with a need for knowledge, but a hunger for it. Eve bit the apple and it has been gluttony ever since.
