Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“In the driest whitest stretch of pain’s infinite desert, I lost my sanity and found this rose.”
Rumi

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The world itself has become a grain of sand on the shore of night.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Rocannon’s World

Patricia Lockwood
“A trick I often use, when I feel overwhelming shame or regret, or brokenness beyond repair, is to think of a line I especially love, or a poem that arrived like lightning, and remember that it wouldn't have come to me if anything in my life had happened differently. Not that way. Not in those words.”
Patricia Lockwood, Priestdaddy

Simone Weil
“To see a landscape as it is when I am not there... When I am in any place, I disturb the silence of heaven and earth by my breathing and the beating of my heart.”
Simone Weil, Gravity And Grace

Patricia Lockwood
“I did not make it out, but this does. Art goes outside, even if we don't; it fills the whole air, though we cannot raise our voices.”
Patricia Lockwood, Priestdaddy
