Pier Paolo Pasolini
“Poor as the poor I cling,
like them, to humiliating hopes;
like them, each day I nearly kill myself
just to live.”
Pier Paolo Pasolini, Poems

Pier Paolo Pasolini
“Nothing remains but to hope the end will come to extinguish the unrelenting pain of waiting for it.”
Pier Paolo Pasolini, Poems

Iain Pears
“God forbid that I should ever suffer the shame of publishing a book for money, or of having one of my family so demean themselves. How can one tell who might read it? No worthy book has ever been written for gain, I think;”
Iain Pears, An Instance of the Fingerpost

Alda Merini
“As for me, I used to be a bird
with a gentle white womb,
someone cut my throat
just for laughs,
I don’t know.
As for me, I used to be a great albatross
and whirled over the seas.
Someone put an end to my journey,
without any charity in the tone of it.
But even stretched out on the ground
I sing for you now
my songs of love.”
Alda Merini, Love Lessons: Selected Poems

R.D. Blackmore
“The love of all things was upon me, and a softness to them all, and a sense of having something even such as they had.”
R.D. Blackmore, Lorna Doone
