“I close my eyes, and this image floats beside me.
A sweaty toothed mad man with a stare that pounds my brain.
His hands reach out and choke me, and all the time he's mumbling.
“Truth, truth.”
Like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold.
You push it, stretch it, but it'll never be enough.
You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us.
From the moment we enter crying,
to the moment we leave dying,
it'll just cover your face,
as you wail and cry and scream.”
Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society

James Baldwin
“Somebody" said Jacques, "your father or mine, should have told us that not many people have ever died of love. But multitudes have perished, and are perishing every hour--and in the oddest places!--for the lack of it.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

“In the fog, she kissed me once, very quickly, and it felt like courage.”
Julia Drake, The Last True Poets of the Sea

Charles Bukowski
“I
think that the
world should be full of cats and full of rain, that's all, just
cats and
rain, rain and cats, very nice, good
night.”
Charles Bukowski, Betting on the Muse: Poems & Stories

Neil Gaiman
“Say 'Nevermore,'" said Shadow.
"Fuck You," said the Raven.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods
