Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”

“I find myself drawn to literature more now than in the past; not the individual works as much as the idea of literature—the heroic effort and nobility of our human desire to make beauty of our minds—which moves me to tears, and I have to brush them away, quickly, before anyone notices.”
― Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being
