“A poet is different. A poet transforms the world with Such small hands.”
Caroline Kepnes, You

Haruki Murakami
“It's because of you when I'm in bed in the morning that I can wind my spring and tell myself I have to live another good day.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Haruki Murakami
“But Nakata wasn't afraid of the darkness or how deep it was. And why should he be? That bottomless world of darkness, that weighty silence and chaos, was an old friend, a part of him already.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.
“Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude.
“I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers.

Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.”
Oliver Sacks, Gratitude
