Vincent van Gogh
“Looking at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots representing towns and villages on a map.

Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?

Just as we take a train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. We cannot get to a star while we are alive any more than we can take the train when we are dead. So to me it seems possible that cholera, tuberculosis and cancer are the celestial means of locomotion. Just as steamboats, buses and railways are the terrestrial means.

To die quietly of old age would be to go there on foot.”
Vincent van Gogh

Wendy Mass
“You never know, life is short but it’s wide”
Wendy Mass, Every Soul a Star

Yeonmi Park
“We all have our own deserts. They may not be the same as my desert, but we all have to cross them to find a purpose in life and be free.”
Yeonmi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom

George Orwell
“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”
George Orwell

E.E. Cummings
“Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.”
E.E. Cummings
