“Astride of a grave and a difficult birth.
Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave digger puts on the forceps.
We have time to grow old.
The air is full of our cries.
But habit is a great deadener.
At me too someone is looking, of me too someone is saying, He is sleeping, he knows nothing.
Let him sleep on.”
― Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot

“And then the miracle happens. The sun comes up again.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
