Everybody burns out in this world: amateur, pro, it doesn’t matter, they all burn out, they all get hurt, the OK guys and the not-OK guys both. That’s why everybody takes out a little insurance. I’ve got some too, here at the bottom of the heap. That way, you can manage to survive if you burn out. If you’re all by yourself and don’t belong anywhere, you go down once and you’re out. Finished.
Ushikawa from The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (Haruki Murakami)
I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on.
