“I'm a dreamer; I have so little real life that I regard such momenta as this one, now, to be so rare that I can't help repeating these moments in my dreams.”
― Dostoevskiy, Белые ночи

“Not all those who wander are lost.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Poetry turns all things to loveliness; it exalts the beauty of that which is most beautiful, and it adds beauty to that which is most deformed; it marries exultation and horror, grief and pleasure, eternity and change; it subdues to union under its light yoke all irreconcilable things. It transmutes all that it touches, and every form moving within the radiance of its presence is changed by wondrous sympathy to an incarnation of the spirit which it breathes: its secret alchemy turns to potable gold the poisonous waters which flow from death through life; it strips the veil of familiarity from the world, and lays bare the naked and sleeping beauty, which is the spirit of its forms.”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley, A Defence of Poetry and Other Essays

“If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can Ease one life the Aching,
Or cool one Pain

Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in Vain.”
― Emily Dickinson
