Pablo Neruda
“If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life”
Pablo Neruda

Henry Miller
“I made up my mind that I would hold onto nothing, that I would expect nothing.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Arthur Rimbaud
“A thousand Dreams within me softly burn:
From time to time my heart is like some oak
Whose blood runs golden where a branch is torn.”
Arthur Rimbaud, Complete Works

William Blake
“The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom...You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.”
William Blake, Proverbs of Hell

Pablo Neruda
“There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song - but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny.”
Pablo Neruda
