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

Robert Frost
“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
Robert Frost

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.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

William Carlos Williams

and I am aware of the stream

William Carlos Williams, Paterson
