“Listen--are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?”
Mary Oliver

Roald Dahl
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
Roald Dahl

John Milton
“Awake, arise or be for ever fall’n.”
John Milton, Paradise Lost

“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”
Mary Oliver

William Wordsworth
“Wisdom is oft-times nearer when we stoop
Than when we soar.”
William Wordsworth, The Excursion 1814
