“It is possible to be indifferent to flowers–possible but not very likely. Psychiatrists regard a patient’s indifference to flowers as a symptom of clinical depression. It seems that by the time the singular beauty of a flower in bloom can no longer pierce the veil of black or obsessive thoughts in a person’s mind, that mind’s connection to the sensual world has grown dangerously frayed. Such a condition stands as the polar opposite of tulipomania; “flora-ennui,” you might call it. It is a syndrome that afflicts individuals, however, not societies.”
Michael Pollan,

Albert Sanchez Pinol

“Come on, if you can’t laugh at yourself, life’s going to seem a lot longer than you’d like.”

Vincent: I don’t know. That’s a good question.
Mia: That’s when you know you’ve found somebody special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
