A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath. – Friedrich Nietzsche
Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience. – Friedrich Nietzsche

Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest. – Friedrich Nietzsche
I am sorry.. Can only say time accelerated and skidded….

Burroughs, letter to Mother and Dad, 1959
