“And remember the old dogs
who fought so well:
Hemingway, Celine, Dostoevsky, Hamsun.

If you think they didn't go crazy
in tiny rooms
just like you're doing now

without women
without food
without hope

then you're not ready.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
― Plato

“People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.”
― Emily Dickinson
