Anne Carson
“How long will it feel like burning, said the child trying to be kind.”
Anne Carson, Decreation: Poetry, Essays, Opera

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Your smile more enduring, when it illuminates your sorrow.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

Franz Kafka
“This afternoon I couldn't get out of bed, not because I was too tired but because I was too "heavy" - again and again that word, it's the only one that fits me, do you understand this at all? It's something like the “heaviness” of a ship which has lost its rudder and which says to the waves: "I'm too heavy for myself and for you too light".”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Continue to believe that with your feeling and with
your work you take part in what is greatest. The more strongly you cultivate this belief inside of you, the more it will give rise to reality and world.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Dark Interval: Letters on Loss, Grief, and Transformation

Roland Barthes
“And, long after the amorous relation is allayed, I keep the habit of hallucinating the being I have loved: sometimes I am still in anxiety over a telephone call that is late, and no matter who is on the line, I imagine I recognize the voice I once loved: I am an amputee who still feels pain in his missing leg.”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments
