If anyone is curious as to the quotes on my doors, the first is Kerouac, a long-standing favorite:

    "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."

And the second is Sartre:

    "Everything that exists is born for no reason, carries on living through weakness, and dies by accident"

«Tout ce qui existe naît sans raison, se prolonge par faiblesse et meurt par hasard.»
