“Look at the moon in the sky, not the one in the lake.”
― Rumi

“Perhaps this is what it means to go mad: to be emptied and to be aware of the emptiness.”

“But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”
― T.S. Eliot

“I spent a long time looking at faces, drinking in smiles. Am I happy or unhappy? It’s not a very important question. I live with such frenzied intensity.

Things and people are waiting for me, and doubtless I am waiting for them and desiring them with all my strength and sadness. But, here, I earn the right to be alive by silence and by secrecy.

The miracle of not having to talk about oneself.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks, 1935-1951
