Edgar Allan Poe
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

George Eliot
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot

Pope John Paul II
“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
John Paul II

William Carlos Williams
“We sit and talk,
quietly, with long lapses of silence
and I am aware of the stream
that has no language, coursing
beneath the quiet heaven of
your eyes
which has no speech”
William Carlos Williams, Paterson
