Annie Dillard
“The secret is not to write about what you love best, but about what you, alone, love at all.”
Annie Dillard

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other. ”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Dag Hammarskjöld
“It is not we who seek the Way, but the Way which seeks us. That is why you are faithful to it, even while you stand waiting, so long as you are prepared, and act the moment you are confronted by its demands.”
Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings

Italo Calvino
“You have with you the book you were reading in the cafe, which you are eager to continue, so that you can then hand it on to her, to communicate again with her through the channel dug by others' words, which, as they are uttered by an alien voice, by the voice of that silent nobody made of ink and typographical spacing, can become yours and hers, a language, a code between the two of you, a means to exchange signals and recognize each other.”
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler

Augustine of Hippo
“I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.”
Saint Augustine
