“Good creatures, do you love your lives
And have you ears for sense?
Here is a knife like other knives,
That cost me eighteen pence.

I need but stick it in my heart
And down will come the sky,
And earth's foundations will depart
And all you folk will die.”
― A.E. Housman, More Poems

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”
― James Baldwin

“The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear”
― Aung San Suu Kyi

“Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
― Dylan Thomas, In Country Sleep, and Other Poems
