Rachel Corbett
“Loneliness is just space expanding around you. Trust uncertainty. Sadness is life holding you in its hands and changing you. Make solitude your home.”
Rachel Corbett, You Must Change Your Life: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin

Roger  Deakin
“When you swim, you feel your body for what it mostly is – water – and it begins to move with the water around it. No wonder we feel such sympathy for beached whales; we are beached at birth ourselves. To swim is to experience how it was before you were born.”
Roger Deakin, Waterlog

Bernard M. Baruch
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch

Cao Xueqin
“When grief for fiction’s idle words More real than human life appears, Reflect that life itself’s a dream And do not mock the reader’s tears.”
Cao Xueqin, The Story of the Stone

Gail Tsukiyama
“Sometimes you can’t let go of the past without facing it again.”
Gail Tsukiyama, The Samurai's Garden
