“As life runs on, the road grows strange with faces new - and near the end, the milestones into headstones change, ‘neath every one a friend.”
― James Russell Lowell

“This is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.”
― T.S. Eliot, Murder in the Cathedral

“Δεν υπάρχουν ιδέες - υπάρχουν μονάχα άνθρωποι που κουβαλούν τις ιδέες - κι αυτές παίρνουν το μπόι του ανθρώπου που τους κουβαλάει.”
― Νίκος Καζαντζάκης, The Fratricides

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
