“And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”
― Erica Jong

“I don’t know
what death’s ultimate
purpose is, but I think
this: whoever dreams of holding his
life in his fist
year after year into the hundreds of years
has never considered the owl—
how he comes, exhausted,
through the snow,
through the icy trees,
past snags and vines, wheeling
out of barns and church steeples,
turning this way and that way
through the mesh of every obstacle—
undeterred by anything—
filling himself time and time again
with a red and digestible joy”
― Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Volume One

“Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
I would like to see you living
In better conditions.”
― Hafiz

“If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
This is the best season of your life.”
― WU-MEN
