“I am larger, better than I thought;
I did not know I held so much goodness.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“I am god, I am hero, I am philosopher, I am demon and I am world, which is a tedious way of saying that I do not exist.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

“Tennyson said that if we could understand a single flower we would know who we are and what the world is. Perhaps he meant that there is no deed, however so humble, which does not implicate universal history and the infinite concatenation of causes and effects. Perhaps he meant that the visible world is implicit, in its entirety, in each manifestation, just as, in the same way, will, according to Schopenhauer, is implicit, in its entirety, in each individual.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

“First we feel. Then we fall.”
― James Joyce, Finnegans Wake
