To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“And each in the cell of himself is almost convinced of his freedom.”
― W.H. Auden

I drank you like the cure when maybe
you were the poison.”
