― Thomas Traherne

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”
― John Donne, No man is an island – A selection from the prose

“up into the the silence the green
silence with a white earth in it
you will (kiss me)go

out into the morning the young
morning with a warm world in it
(kiss me)you will go

on into the sunlight the fine
sunlight with a firm day in it
you will go(kiss me

down into your memory and
a memory and memory
i) kiss me,(will go)”
― E.E. Cummings

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”
― Henry Ford
