—By the duty to be happy, I thus refer to the ideology... that urges us to evaluate everything in terms of pleasure and displeasure...on the one hand, we have to make the most of our lives; on the other, we have to be sorry and punish ourselves if we don't succeed in doing so. This is a perversion of a very beautiful idea: that everyone has a right to control his own destiny and to improve his life.??

- Pascal Bruckner

—Ultimately, 'how's it going?' is the most futile and the most profound of questions. To answer it precisely, one would have to make a scrupulous inventory of one's psyche, considering each aspect in detail.

?? Pascal Bruckner

A little on him..his book "The bitter moon" should be read by anyone at some point in their lives. There was a movie about it, so I am going to throw some quotes from there.

Mimi: I want to marry you. I want to give you babies. I want to give you the rest of my life!
Oscar: I don't want the rest of your life. I want my own.

Oscar: In the eyes of every woman, I could see the reflection of the next.

Oscar: Nothing ever surpass the rapture of that first awakening. I might have been Adam with the taste of apple fresh in my mouth. I was looking at all the beauty in the world embodied in a single female form and I knew, with sudden blinding certainty, this was IT!

you're not bored, you're boring.

I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth. And truth rewarded me. -Simone De Beauvoir fellow cap sun/pisces moon
