“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.”
― Sylvia Plath, Mad Girl's Love Song

“And - and don't forget that the structure of the atom cannot be seen but it nonetheless known. I know about lots of things I've never seen. And so do you. You can't show proof of the truest thing of all, all you can do is believe. Weep and believe.”
― Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star

“I know someone who kisses the way
a flower opens, but more rapidly.
Flowers are sweet. They have
short, beatific lives. They offer
much pleasure. There is
nothing in the world that can be said
against them.
Sad, isn't it, that all they can kiss
is the air.

Yes, yes! We are the lucky ones.”
― Mary Oliver, Felicity

“The dream of my life
Is to lie down by a slow river
And stare at the light in the trees -
To learn something by being nothing”
― Mary Oliver, Burning the Midnight Oil: Illuminating Words for the Long Night's Journey Into Day
