Cao Xueqin
“When grief for fiction’s idle words More real than human life appears, Reflect that life itself’s a dream And do not mock the reader’s tears.”
Cao Xueqin, The Story of the Stone

Fernando Pessoa
“The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!”
Fernando Pessoa

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Are you jealous of the ocean’s generosity?
Why would you refuse to give
this joy to anyone?

Fish don’t hold the sacred liquid in cups!
They swim the huge fluid freedom.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Wisława Szymborska
“The joy of writing.
The power of preserving.
Revenge of a mortal hand.”
Wisława Szymborska

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?

Look at your eyes. They are small,
but they see enormous things.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi
