“We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

“When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?”
― Virginia Woolf

“Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what was seen during a moment.”
― Carl Sandburg

“I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
