Holy the solitudes of skyscrapers and pavements! Holy

Holy forgiveness! mercy! charity! faith! Holy! Ours!

Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent
kindness of the soul!”
Allen Ginsberg, Howl and Other Poems

Jonathan Safran Foer
“When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder.
Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from a chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table.
I spent my life learning to feel less.
Every day I felt less.
Is that growing old? Or is it something worse?
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

Jean-Paul Sartre
“If... if I didn't try to get my life moving on my own account, I should think it just absurd to go on living.'
A look of smiling obstinacy had come into Marcelle's face.
'Yes, yes - it's your vice.'
'It's not a vice. It's how I'm made.'
'Why aren't other people made like that, if it isn't a vice?'
'They are, only they don't know it.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason

Jonathan Safran Foer
“We spent our lives making livings.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
