“The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature

“Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”
― Mary Oliver

“It doesn't matter how old I get, but as long as I continue to live I'll always discover something new about myself.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a
long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
