I don't like to hear people speaking in my work. I like reading it, and I marvel at people who can do it well. And there's something when you see it done well. It's just so terrific. But I'm not able to do it. (Jamaica Kincaid)

Any damage that's been done, you have to fix yourself because it needs fixing and there is nobody else to do the work. Blame may well be justified, but it's not going to move you forward in your life.

Augusten Burroughs

John D. Carmack

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.
