Tom Stoppard
“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Stephen Fry
“An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.”
Stephen Fry

Anaïs Nin
“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Anaïs Nin

Louise Glück
“The Red Poppy

The great thing
is not having
a mind. Feelings:
oh, I have those; they
govern me. I have
a lord in heaven
called the sun, and open
for him, showing him
the fire of my own heart, fire
like his presence.
What could such glory be
if not a heart? Oh my brothers and sisters,
were you like me once, long ago,
before you were human? Did you
permit yourselves
to open once, who would never
open again? Because in truth
I am speaking now
the way you do. I speak
because I am shattered.”
Louise Gluck

Tom Stoppard
“We are tied down to a language which makes up in obscurity what it lacks in style.”
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
