“We're always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that's all eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can't help feeling that that's what it is.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Not unseated,
Not even touched
By the shocks of sickness,
Gods stand worlds from men.”
― Bacchylides, Greek Lyric, Volume IV: Bacchylides, Corinna, and Others

“I would not come in.
I meant not even if asked,
And I hadn't been.”
― Robert Frost, The Poetry of Robert Frost

“There are two ways to dislike poetry: One is to dislike it; the other is to read Pope.”
