“Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and by the very knowledge of functions and processes to bereave the student of the manly contemplation of the whole. The savant becomes unpoetic.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson

“truth and falsehood mingle in life—and to what God builds, man adds his own decoration.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, 5 Best Short Stories

“The stars have us to bed: Night draws the curtain; which the sun withdraws. Music”

“Everybody knows deep down that life is as much about the things that do not happen as the things that do and that's not something that ought to be glossed over or denied because without frustration there would hardly be any need to daydream. And daydreams return me to my original sense of things and I luxuriate in these fervid primary visions until I am entirely my unalloyed self again. So even though it sometimes feels as if one could just about die from disappointment I must concede that in fact in a rather perverse way it is precisely those things I did not get that are keeping me alive.”
― Claire-Louise Bennett, Pond
