Maggie Nelson
“199. For to wish to forget how much you loved someone—and then, to actually forget—can feel, at times, like the slaughter of a beautiful bird who chose, by nothing short of grace, to make a habitat of your heart.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

Charles Bukowski
“There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.”
Charles Bukowski

“Если веpить почтенному английскому дипломату, Иван Гpозный пытался научить моих пpедков улыбаться. Для этого он пpиказывал во вpемя пpогулок или пpоездов «pубить головы тем, котоpые попадались ему навстpечу, если их лица ему не нpавились».
Hо даже такие pешительные меpы не пpивели ни к чему. У нас остались мpачные хаpактеpы.
Если человек ходит с веселым лицом, на него показывают пальцами.
А любовь pаскpоила мою физиономию улыбкой от уха до уха.
Днем бы за мной бегали мальчишки.”
Анатолий Мариенгоф, Циники

Jonathan Safran Foer
“I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others -- The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

Charles Bukowski
“there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other
one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.

it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.

or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone

untouched
unspoken to

watering a plant.”
Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell
