“November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”
― Elizabeth Coatsworth

“If i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want”
― Nikki Giovanni

“There is one other book, that can teach you everything you need to know about life... it's The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, but that's not enough anymore.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“If we had not met, that day, I think I would have imagined you somehow.”
― Penelope Lively, Consequences
