“And we, spectators always, everywhere,
looking at, never out of, everything!
It fills us. We arrange it. It collapses.
We re-arrange it, and collapse ourselves.

Who's turned us round like this, so that we always,
do what we may, retain the attitude
of someone who's departing? Just as he,
on the last hill, that shows him all his valley
for the last time, will turn and stop and linger,
we live our lives, for ever taking leave.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

“If only she could be so oblivious again, to feel such love without knowing it, mistaking it for laughter. ”

“So much good, so much evil. Just add water.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day.”
― William Allingham
