“I will kill myself soon. But until then how do l tame my pain?”
Sonali Deraniyagala, Wave

E.E. Cummings
“who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
( and if you and I should

get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where

always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves”
e.e. cummings, Collected Poems

Marcel Proust
“If we are to make reality endurable, we must all nourish a fantasy or two.”
Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

T.S. Eliot
“To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.”
