“It is not how things are in the world that is mystical, but that it exists”
― Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

“Even as I hold you
I think of you as someone gone
far, far away. Your eyes the color
of pennies in a bowl of dark honey
bringing sweet light to someone else
your black hair slipping through my fingers
is the flash of your head going
around a corner
your smile, breaking before me,
the flippant last turn
of a revolving door,
emptying you out, changed,
away from me.

Even as I hold you
I am letting go.”
― Alice Walker

“Hate is a place where a man who can't stand sadness goes.”
― Kentaro Miura

“You strip from me the laurel and the rose!
Take all! Despite you there is yet one thing
I hold against you all, and when, tonight,
I enter Christ's fair courts, and, lowly bowed,
Sweep with doffed casque the heavens' threshold blue,
One thing is left, that, void of stain or smutch,
I bear away despite you…
My panache.”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac
