“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Hours

“That perhaps is your task--to find the relation between things that seem incompatible yet have a mysterious affinity, to absorb every experience that comes your way fearlessly and saturate it completely so that your poem is a whole, not a fragment; to re-think human life into poetry and so give us tragedy again and comedy by means of characters not spun out at length in the novelist's way, but condensed and synthesized in the poet's way--that is what we look to you to do now.”
― Virginia Woolf

“What art offers is space – a certain breathing room for the spirit.”
― John Updike
