― Jack Kerouac

“We are not all born at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later... Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth.”
― Mary Austin

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
― Mary Oliver
