Erich Maria Remarque
“I had found a woman whom I had not known, and who from day to day had grown stranger to me, yet closer. Now she seemed to be slipping away from me again, into a realm where all names are forgotten, where there is only darkness and perhaps certain unknown laws of darkness. She rejected that dark realm; she came back, but she no longer
belonged to me as I had tried to believe. Perhaps she had never belonged to me; who, after all, belongs to whom, and what is it to belong to someone, to belong to one another? Isn't it a forlorn illusion, a convention? Time and again she turned back, as she called it, for an hour, for the duration of a glance, for a night. And always I felt like a bookkeeper who is not allowed to audit. I could only accept without question whatever this unaccountable, unhappy, damned, and beloved creature chose to be and to tell me. ... Loneliness demands a companion and does not ask who it is. If you don't know that, you may have been alone, but you were never lonely.”
Erich Maria Remarque, The Night in Lisbon

“I went to China,
I went to Prague;
I died, and was born in the spring;
I found you, and loved you, again.”
Mary Oliver, White Pine: Poems and Prose Poems

Laura van den Berg
“Intimacy could distort one's vantage, that much was true. Sometimes trying to see the whole of a person could be like describing a painting with your nose pressed to the canvas, though my husband would have argued that I hadn't wanted to see from a different angle, hadn't wanted to step back.”
Laura van den Berg, I Hold a Wolf by the Ears: Stories

“But, to write well it is entirely necessary to read widely and deeply. Good poems are the best teachers. Perhaps they are the only teachers. I would go so far as to say that, if one must make a choice between reading or taking part in a workshop, one should read.”
Mary Oliver, A Poetry Handbook

Robert Macfarlane
“To perceive matter that casts no shadow, you must search not for its presence but for its consequence.”
Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey
