“People often ask me why I ended up studying philosophy. And I think one of the reasons is precisely because it brings a sense of perspective but also of detachment, almost a joyful indifference to ourselves and to the place we have in that world. But at the same time paradoxically, it also fuels a great intellectual or sensorial curiosity towards that world. Philosophy for me, or the practice of philosophy, is the very feeling of the impossibility to get bored. A philosopher is not a wise man or wise woman—he or she is in love with wisdom. We are happy to be ignorant and to have so much to learn still.”

— Jeanne Proust

My final word on social media is this: Whenever I post something to the internet, I want it to feel like I’m dropping it down a deep, dark well without ever hearing a splash at the bottom.

“The act of cooking has satisfied the hedonist in me; it is an act that gives pleasure. But it has also provided direction, occupation, and a sense of achievement when my life has been unhappy, method when structure has been needed. It has been a practical form of escapism, masking my tendency to withdraw.”

— Marie Viljoen

Everything that I ever worry about has been worried about for millennia.
