“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones.

― Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eye

“Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.”

“Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
― Dylan Thomas, In Country Sleep, and Other Poems
