Kaveh Akbar
“sometimes paradise happens
too early and leaves us shuddering in its wake”
Kaveh Akbar

Michael Cunningham
“Heaven winked at you, right? Maybe. Maybe it did. Or maybe it was just an airplane and a cloud. But if Heaven winks at anybody, it's probably the less-than-conspicuous seekers; the ones who search among the discarded bits and pieces; the ones who choose the path over the avenue, the gap in the hedge over the trumpeted gates. That's probably why there's no verifiable evidence, right? The universe only winks at the ones no one will believe.

That's the joke? That's the joke inside the joke. Revelation is offered only to those too poor and obscure to be considered candidates.”
Michael Cunningham, The Snow Queen

Michael Cunningham
“I've always maintained you can either cure your neuroses or you can just outwait them.”
Michael Cunningham, Flesh and Blood

Kaveh Akbar
“Rumi said the two most important things in life were beauty and bewilderment
This is likely a mistranslation”
Kaveh Akbar

Charlotte Joko Beck
“What makes it unbearable is your mistaken belief that it can be cured.”
Charlotte Joko Beck
