“I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live.” ― Françoise Sagan
If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution — then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise.
from Wanted, a New Pleasure, 1931 by Aldous Huxley [July 26, 1894 -November 22, 1963] (via billyjane)
