Yukio Mishima
“Dreams, memories, the sacred--they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous. Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch. How strange man is! His touch defiles and yet he contains the source of miracles.”
Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

T.S. Eliot
“When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experiences.”
T. S. Eliot

Wallace Stevens
“... unreal things have a reality of their own, in poetry as elsewhere.”
Wallace Stevens, The Necessary Angel: Essays on Reality and the Imagination

David  Mitchell
“Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Charles Baudelaire
“To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.”
Charles Baudelaire
