― Muriel Rukeyser, The Life of Poetry

“There was another thing I heartily disbelieved in - work. Work, it seemed to me even at the threshold of life, is an activity reserved for the dullard. It is the very opposite of creation, which is play… The part of me which was given up to work, which enabled my wife and child to live in the manner which they unthinkingly demanded, this part of me which kept the wheel turning - a completely fatuous, ego-centric notion! - was the least part of me. I gave nothing to the world in fulfilling the function of breadwinner; the world exacted its tribute of me, that was all.”
― Henry Miller

“listen: there’s a hell
of a good universe next door; let’s go”
― E.E. Cummings

“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
― Gary Snyder
