“Everything in life is metaphor.... We accept irony through a device called metaphor. And through that we grow and become deeper human beings. Irony deepens a person, helps them mature. It’s the entrance to salvation....”

“Busbecq believed there were two blessings in life: books and friends. And that they should be possessed in inverse quantities: many books, but only a handful of friends.”

“I sat, a solitary man,
In a crowded London shop,
An open book and empty cup
On the marble table-top.
While on the shop and street I gazed
My body of a sudden blazed;
And twenty minutes more or less
It seemed, so great my happiness,
That I was blessed and could bless.”
― The Winding Stair And Other Poems
