“always fugitive, always near
always concealed, always disdainful
always leaving, always untouched
always in black, always dreaming
always the bitter flower
always the night, always concealed
always fugitive, always caged
always your face
always the bitter flower
of your lips, always your bed
always near, always fleeing
always waiting, always waiting
always calling to you
always the night deepens
always the night
always fugitive, always near”
― Antonio Machado

“Within my song, safe from the worm, my spirit will survive”
― Alexander Pushkin

“I am something supernatural
not exactly god, ghost, spirit, angel, principle or element –
There is no term for it in English.”
― Anne Carson, The Bacchae

“I would rather be faithful to my future than to
my past, if it becomes a matter of choice.”
― Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Men, Women and Emotions: Sex & Love Advice from the author of "A Man's First Wife" and "How Women Like To Be Loved"
