“Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.”
― T.S. Eliot

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“all this Beethoven and rain”
― Michael Ondaatje, Running in the Family

“Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.”
― Haruki Marukami
