“We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language. Ancient cures for diseases will reveal themselves once more. Mathematical discoveries glimpsed and lost to view will have their time again. You do not suppose, my lady, that if all of Archimedes had been hiding in the great library of Alexandria, we would be at a loss for a corkscrew?”
― Tom Stoppard, Arcadia

“To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.”
― Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries

“One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it, and the journey is always towards the other soul.”

“Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of angels.”
