“since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis”
― E.E. Cummings

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
