“Infinity isn't on Earth and it isn't in heaven. The infinite dwells in each of us. Like a window on the top of our heads that we didn't even know was there, and the poet's voice opens up little by little, and up there, through that crack, is the infinite.”
― Irene Solà, Canto jo i la muntanya balla

“better than wild
is secretly wild”
― Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing

“DON’T HESITATE If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”
― Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver

“The Yeti way is to hold sorrow and happiness, both, together. The happiness warms the sorrow like the sun warms ice in the river, and at last the ice melts, and the river flows sweetly on.”
― Kara May, Yeti Boy
