"People in France have a phrase: 'Spirit of the Stairway.' In French: esprit d'escalier. It means that moment when you find the answer but it's too late. So you're at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So, under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party . . . As you start down the stairway, then - magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should've said. The perfect crippling put down. That's the Spirit of the Stairway."Chuck Palahniuk
Life isn’t underhanded or dubious - people are. For the most part, life is easy and inspiring, its people that muddle it up. People make it complicated, tedious and difficult. Knowing that, choose your people more stringently and you’ll be pleasantly surprised how beautiful your life will become.
“Be curious. Lather curiosity on everything. On people, books, pets, food, blogs, streets, markets, everything. Question. Learn. Just get interested and invested. Be present and alive.”
