I play it cool
And dig all jive
That’s the reason
I stay alive.

My motto,
As I live and learn,
is:
Dig And Be Dug
In Return.

Quote reblogged from The Real Katie West with 172 notes

There is no such thing as a person whose real self you like every particle of. This is why a world of liking is ultimately a lie. But there is such a thing as a person whose real self you love every particle of. And this is why love is such an existential threat to the techno-consumerist order: it exposes the lie.

- Jonathan Franzen from the New York Times article, “Liking is for cowards. Go for what hurts.”

This is a wonderful article. And exactly what I needed to read today. (via sniffyjenkins)
