“Four billion people on this earth
but my imagination is still the same.
It's bad with large numbers.
It's still taken by particularity.
It flits in the dark like a flashlight,
illuminating only random faces
while all the rest go by,
never coming to mind and never really missed.”
― Wislawa Szymborska, Poems New and Collected

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”
― William Shakespear, Hamlet

“Omit needless words.”
― William Strunk Jr., The Elements of Style; How to Speak and Write Correctly

“My love for those I love -- not many -- not very many, but don't I love them so?”
― Emily Dickinson
