Søren Kierkegaard
“The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have.”
Søren Kierkegaard

“There's no money in poetry, but there's no poetry in money, either.”
Robert Graves

Shirley Jackson
“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Paul Bowles

Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
