Michael Ondaatje
“Seas move away, why not lovers? The harbours of Ephesus, the rivers of Heraclitus disappear and are replaced by estuaries of silt. The wife of Candaules becomes the wife of Gyges. Libraries burn.”
Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Q: What is creativity? A: The relationship between a human being and the mysteries of inspiration.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: How to Live a Creative Life, and Let Go of Your Fear

“Yoga sequences are designed to uncover our birthright: love, joy, and freedom. The body can experience these essences as space, ease, and liberation.”
Colleen Saidman Yee, Yoga for Life: A Journey to Inner Peace and Freedom

Diane Ackerman
“<...> [Rainer Maria Rilke] speaks of absorbing Earth's phenomena with the full frenzy of human relish and insight as our destiny: "It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again... We are the bees of the invisible... [Our work is] the continual conversion of the beloved visible and tangible world into the invisible vibrations and agitation of our own nature.”
Diane Ackerman, An Alchemy of Mind: The Marvel and Mystery of the Brain

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I choose to love you in silence…
For in silence I find no rejection,

I choose to love you in loneliness…
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

I choose to adore you from a distance…
For distance will shield me from pain,

I choose to kiss you in the wind…
For the wind is gentler than my lips,

I choose to hold you in my dreams…
For in my dreams, you have no end.”
Rumi
