J.R.R. Tolkien
“The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.
Maybe we’re from the same star.”
Emery Allen

Leonard Koren
“Get rid of all that is unnecessary. Wabi-sabi means treading lightly on the planet and knowing how to appreciate whatever is encountered, no matter how trifling, whenever it is encountered. [...] In other words, wabi-sabi tells us to stop our preoccupation with success--wealth, status, power, and luxury--and enjoy the unencumbered life. Obviously, leading the simple wabi-sabi life requires some effort and will and also some tough decisions. Wabi-sabi acknowledges that just as it is important to know when to make choices, it is also important to know when not to make choices: to let things be. Even at the most austere level of material existence, we still live in a world of things. Wabi-sabi is exactly about the delicate balance between the pleasure we get from things and the pleasure we get from freedom of things.”
Leonard Koren, Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers

Mark Twain
“There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.”
Mark Twain

Elizabeth S.  Eiler
“In the vessel of your body, you yourself are the world tree, deep roots in the Earth and a crown of stars. Your essence bridges dimensions.”
Elizabeth Eiler, Swift and Brave: Sacred Souls of Animals
