“Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“We can’t force healing on anyone else. All you can do is be a beacon of light for others.”

“Whenever you see flies or insects in a still life—a wilted petal, a black spot on the apple—the painter is giving you a secret message. He’s telling you that living things don’t last—it’s all temporary. Death in life. That’s why they’re called natures mortes. Maybe you don’t see it at first with all the beauty and bloom, the little speck of rot. But if you look closer—there it is.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
