“A new door to the Unbelievable, to the Possible, a new day that can always bring you anything if you have no objection to it.”
― Tove Jansson, The Exploits of Moominpappa

“How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“Magnificent"

When will this inner night – the universe – end
And I – my soul – have my day?
When will I wake up from being awake?
I don’t know. The sun shines on high
And cannot be looked at.
The stars coldly blink
And cannot be counted.
The heart beats aloofly
And cannot be heard.
When will this drama without theater
– Or this theater without drama – end
So that I can go home?
Where? How? When?
O cat staring at me with eyes of life, Who lurks in your depths?
It’s Him! It’s him!
Like Joshua he’ll order the sun to stop, and I’ll wake up,
And it will be day.
Smile, my soul, in your slumber!
Smile, my soul: it will be day!”
― Fernando Pessoa, A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems

“Uskokaa pois, kuolemaa ei ole; ei ole untakaan. Kasvamme vain ajasta toiseen. Elämään on suhtauduttava kärsivällisesti, sillä se on ikuinen.”
― Karel Čapek, Gardener's Year
