Wallace Stevens
“A poet looks at the world as a man looks at a woman. ”
Wallace Stevens

Thomas Carlyle
“Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. ”
Thomas Carlyle

Anthony de Mello
“the tragedy of an attachment is that if its object is not attained it causes unhappiness. But if it is attained, it does not cause happiness – it merely causes a flash of pleasure followed by weariness, and it is always accompanied, of course, by the anxiety that you may lose the object of your attachment.”
Anthony de Mello

William Faulkner
“She wasn’t too big, heroic, what they call Junoesque. It was that there was just too much of what she was for any one human female package to contain, and hold: too much of white, too much of female, too much of maybe just glory, I don’t know: so that at first sight of her you felt a kind of shock of gratitude just for being alive and being male at the same instance with her in space and time, and then in the next second and forever after a kind of despair because you knew there would never be enough of any one male to match and hold and deserve her; grief forever after because forever after nothing less would ever do. ”
William Faulkner

George Santayana
“It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.”
George Santayana
