"I envy all people, because I'm not them. Since this always seemed to me like the most impossible of impossibilities, it's what I yearned for every day, and despaired of in every sad moment."

And one of my fav's!
"To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music soothes, the visual arts exhilarate, and the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however, retreats from life by turning it into a slumber. The other arts make no such retreat--some because they use visible and hence vital formulas, others because they live from human life itself.
"This isn't the case with literature. Literature simulates life. A novel is a story of what never was, and a play is a novel without narration. A poem is the expression of ideas or feelings in a language no one uses, because no one talks in verse."

A way to keep in touch and haggle! - Thats right! I wanna know what music you're into, what food your eating, what stories you're reading (web comics, news stories, new fiction, Pemberton times), what TV/movies struck you as awesome, ALL OF IT!! Just think of it like the Patriot Act, constantly checking up on our shared relatively inane existence, but with LOVE/HATE OF COURSE!!!

Lolol what really sold me was the title hahaha!!
My favorite of the two would definitely be the second, and its definitely an interesting thought, one that Im gonna have to agree with lolol! Literature IS the most agreeable way to ignore and escape life haha, although im gonna have to say, literature is definitely my favorite of all the forms listed, as nothing helps to achieve revelations in ones own life better than reading accounts of similar experiences...
lol idk, but its an interesting thought to be sure
