Kumaran Asan
“അഥവാ ക്ഷമപോലെ നന്മചെ-
യ്തരുളാൻ നോറ്റൊരു നല്ല ബന്ധുവും
വ്യഥപോലറിവോതിടുന്ന സദ്-
ഗുരുവും മർത്യനു വേറേയില്ലതാൻ”
Kumaran Asan , ചിന്താവിഷ്ടയായ സീത | Chinthavishtayaya Seetha

Rainer Maria Rilke
“I am learning to see. I don't know why it is, but everything enters me more deeply and doesn't stop where it once used to. I have an interior that I never knew of... What's the use of telling someone that I am changing? If I'm changing, I am no longer who I was; and if I am something else, it's obvious that I have no acquaintances. And I can't possibly write to strangers.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

Arthur Rimbaud
“These verses believe; they love; they hope; that is all.”
Arthur Rimbaud, Complete Works

Orhan Pamuk
“So you heroically undertook to endure the pains of faithlessness, just to be able to write good poems. But you didn´t realise then that when you lost that voice inside you, you´d end up all alone in an empty universe.”
Orhan Pamuk, Snow

Fernando Pessoa
“And with a relentlessness that comes from the world's depths, with a persistence that strikes the keys metaphysically, the scales of a piano student keep playing over and over, up and down the physical backbone of my memory. It's the old streets with other people, the same streets that today are different; it's dead people speaking to me through the transparency of their absence; it's remorse for what I did or didn't do; it's the rippling of streams in the night, noises from below in the quiet building.

I feel like screaming inside my head. I want to stop, to break, to smash this impossible phonograph record that keeps playing inside me, where it doesn't belong, an intangible torturer. I want my soul, a vehicle taken over by others, to let me off and go on without me. I'm going crazy from having to hear. And in the end it is I – in my odiously impressionable brain, in my thin skin, in my hypersensitive nerves – who am the keys played in scales, O horrible and personal piano of our memory.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
