“These woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.”
― Erica Jong

“Because nothing should be wasted
In a world where sparrows work hard
To prove there is enough.”
― Gary Soto, The Elements of San Joaquin (Pitt Poetry
