“Any piece of good music is in essence a love song.”
― Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber

“don’t limit poetry to the word. Poetry can be found in music, a photograph, in the way a meal is prepared—anything with the stuff of revelation in it. It can exist in the most everyday things but it must never, never be ordinary. By all means, write about the sky or a girl’s smile, but when you do, let your poetry conjure up salvation day, doomsday, any day. I don’t care, as long as it enlightens us, thrills us and—if it’s inspired— makes us feel a bit immortal.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

“It's easy to pay with the blood of others.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Blood of Others

“There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942
