“Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are
Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words
Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you
Those who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart”
― R. Tagore

“Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection.”
― Victor Hugo

“On a day of burial there is no perspective--for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was--to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“And if you can’t shape your life the way you want, at least try as much as you can not to degrade it...”
― Constantine P. Cavafy/Κωνσταντίνος Π. Καβάφης
