“Ridiculous the waste sad time
Stretching before and after”
― T.S. Eliot

“You created every part of me;
you put me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because you are to be feared;
all you do is strange and wonderful.
I know it with all my heart.
When my bones were being formed,
carefully put together in my mother’s womb,
when I was growing there in secret,
you knew that I was there—
you saw me before I was born.”
― Psalm 139

“There are no more books to be written, thank God.”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

“We are at the gate shaking the gate climbing the gate clanging our cups against the gate. This is no garden. This is my brother and I need a shovel to love him.”
