Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.

The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness...

Kahlil Gibran

In love, as in gluttony, pleasure is a matter of the utmost precision.

Italo Calvino

Behold the Child among his new-born blissesA six years' Darling of a pigmy size!See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,With light upon him from his father's eyes!See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,Some fragment from his dream of human life,Shaped by himself with newly-learned art.

William Wordsworth, Ode: Intimat

Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one's future must be hewn.

Walter Benjamin

The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

Charles de Lint

My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.

Paulo Coelho

Victor Hugo

Good thoughts can become reality with Cosmic Ordering.

Stephen Richards

The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.

Susan Sontag

Poetry doesn't belong to those who write it, but to those who need it.
