“Why love what you will lose?
There is nothing else to love.”
― Louise Glück, The Triumph of Achilles

“Poetry is an intimate act. It's about bringing forth something that's inside you--whether it is a memory, a philosophical idea, a deep love for another person or for the world, or an apprehension of the spiritual. It's about making something, in language, which can be transmitted to others--not as information, or polemic, but as irreducible art.”
― Dorianne Laux, The Poet's Companion: A Guide to the Pleasures of Writing Poetry

“It is a risk to love.
What if it doesn't work out?
Ah, but what if it does.”
― Peter McWilliams

“I am a lover without a lover. I am lovely and lonely and I belong deeply to myself.”
― Warson Shire
