“Today is a day like any other: twenty-four hours, a little sunshine, a little rain. Listen, says ambition, nervously shifting her weight from one boot to another—why don’t you get going? For there I am, in the mossy shadows, under the trees. And to tell the truth I don’t want to let go of the wrists of idleness, I don’t want to sell my life for money, I don’t even want to come in out of the rain.”
― Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver

“Everything goes. I am working very hard at not thinking about how everything goes.”
― Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays
