“Fun, after all, is supposed to be anathema to work, which is why the prospect of fun gets treated like a contagion. Fun threatens to infect and pervert the sanctity of labor and also the power of those who would had us do more of it, for free, by cramming more into the slim, preexisting spaces of paychecks and contracts. Fun, so this brand of managerial thinking goes, is an illegitimate use of company time since it doesn’t produce anything or make anybody richer.”
Sheila Liming - Hanging out - The Radical Power of Killing Time (2023), p. 115-116

“De wereld is nooit klaar, je erin voortbewegen is om bouwputten heen slalommen, berispende fluitjes van ordehandhavers verdragen, proberen niet in botsing te komen of slaags te raken, niet ten onder te gaan aan het feit dat niets vast staat, dat trouweloosheid regeert.” 
Marja Pruis - Oplossingen - Het leven, mijn handreiking (2019), p. 257

“Het schijnt dat de wereld niet vooruitgaat door volledig tot wasdom te komen, maar door permanent in een staat van adolescentie te verkeren. Van fanatiek verkennen. Zoiets moet het zijn.”

"Krankzinnige onzin. Een handvol woorden genomen. Onzinnige dingen gezegd. Gewoon onzin, die nergens wat mee te maken heeft."

"Dat moment, wanneer ik ook begin te twijfelen aan alledaagse woorden, ik ze zo lang blijf herhalen tot het willekeurige letters blijken te zijn, en letters willekeurige vormen, tot niets meer met elkaar verbonden is; die gierende angst, als valwind rondom een wolkenkrabber."

"For here we find a language of immediate contact, a syntax of abrupt, lightning shifts that still manages to maintain a sense, and in their brevity, the sparse presence of their words, we are given a rare and early example of isolated words able to span the enormous mental spaces that lie between them - as if intelligible links could be created by the brute force of each word or phrase, so densely charged that these tiny particles of language could somehow leap out of themselves and catch hold of the succeeding cliff-edge of thought."
Paul Auster - The Red Notebook (1995), p. 84-85
