“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
― Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves

“dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)

trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)

honour the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death
away at this wedding)

never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for god likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)”
― E.E. Cummings

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
― William Faulkner

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa
