“All in all, I'd say,
the world is strangling.
And I, in my bed each night,
listen to my twenty shoes
converse about it.
And the moon,
under its dark hood,
falls out of the sky each night,
with its hungry red mouth
to suck at my scars.”
― Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

“I am a cage, in search of a bird.”
― Franz Kafka

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
― Franz Kafka
