“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.”

“When I was little I didn’t know
I’d grow up.
Or I knew but didn’t feel it.
Time at that age doesn’t exist.
Each day it’s the same kitchen table
With the same backyard outside,
And sadness, when felt,
Is sadness, but you aren’t sad.”
― 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.”

“And that's how it was, that night,
shadow and space, earth
and time,
something that runs and falls
and passes.
And that's how all the nights
go over the earth,
leaving only a vague
black odor.
A leaf falls,
a drop
on the earth
muffles its sound,
the forest sleeps, the waters,
the meadows,
the bells,
the eyes.
I hear you and you breathe,
my love,
we sleep.”
― The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems
