“The leaves fall, fall as from far,
Like distant gardens withered in the heavens;
They fall with slow and lingering descent.

And in the nights the heavy Earth, too, falls
From out the stars into the Solitude.

Thus all doth fall. This hand of mine must fall
And lo! the other one:—it is the law.
But there is One who holds this falling
Infinitely softly in His hands.

- Autumn”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“I was about to enter a borderless terrain between adolescence and adulthood”
― Michael Ondaatje, Warlight

“Choose the least important day in your life. It will be important enough.”

“There are a thousand thousand reasons to live this life, every one of them sufficient.”
― Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
