“People have their fictions and believe what they have mutually agreed upon. But you know, it's not necessarily true that things are only like this or that... I urge you to create your own fiction, one that says it's you who's perfect, for instance.”

“Now I am not ashamed of my defeat.
One murky island with its barking seals
Or a parched desert is enough
To make us say: yes, oui, si.
"Even asleep we partake in the becoming of the world."
Endurance comes only from enduring.
With a flick of the wrist I fashioned an invisible rope,
And climbed it and it held me.”
― Czesław Miłosz, Hymn O Perle

“We must be clear that when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections.

[About describing atomic models in the language of classical physics:]”
― Niels Bohr

“I’m not trying to remember anything. I’m
hoping that what remains forgotten is still affecting what I think.”
― M. John Harrison, Wish I Was Here
