Featured Quotations
From the early teenage years, I educated myself by writing down my favorite passages from the books I read. I lost my records during migrations, and this is my attempt to keep some of the sayings. I include here my favorite poems, lyrics, as well as koans, proverbs, and longer prose excerpts.
Reading × 9
I list here books I read, nowadays primarily e-books and audio-books.
Literature for me is an art form, writing that has both artistic and intellectual value. Literary fiction, mostly classic, I read overwhelmingly in the first part of my life - poetry and prose. Non-fiction is what I prefer now.
