“I have books to read, and much to sit and watch. I try not to let good things go by unnoticed.”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

“But like you, I was made carefully, by a God who loved what He saw.”
― Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

“The mercy of the world is time. Time does not stop for love, but it does not stop for death and grief, either. After death and grief that (it seems) ought to have stopped the world, the world goes on. More things happen. And some of the things that happen are good.”
― Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble.

Making anything assumes there’s a world worth making it for. That you’ll have someplace, like a clown’s pants, to hide it when people come to take it away.

I guess I’m saying making something is a hopeful thing to do.

And being hopeful in a world of pain is either brave or crazy.”
― Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue
