“At our parting, pain and rage choked my goodbyes:
I couldn’t say the word to those fine eyes
That, near, far, captivate me utterly;

And so I beg you, sky, air, winds, plains, mountains,
Copses and forests, riverbanks and fountains,
Caves, fields, flowers – say goodbye to her for me.”
― Pierre de Ronsard, Cassandra

“I've known few people who have survived the tests of pain and violence-a rare feat-with their capacity for tenderness intact.”
― Eduardo Galeano, Days and Nights of Love and War

“Alyosha exclaimed. “I think that everyone should love life before everything else in the world.” “Love life more than its meaning?” “Certainly, love it before logic, as you say, certainly before logic, and only then will I also understand its meaning.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“That’s how I live, that’s how I die: in doubt.
One calls me back, the other kicks me out;
So from one source my joy and sadness rise.”
― Pierre de Ronsard, Cassandra
