“I'm tired of not talking. It seems I have never talked. I want to talk and talk forever.”
― H.D., HERmione

“the handsome moon never spoke ill of the pretty stars”
― E.E. Cummings, Tulips & Chimneys

“May my heart always be open to little⁣
birds who are the secrets of living⁣
Whatever they sing is better than to know⁣
and if men should not hear them men are old⁣
⁣
May my mind stroll about hungry⁣
and fearless and thirsty and supple⁣
and even if it's Sunday may I be wrong⁣
for whenever men are right they are not young⁣
⁣
And may myself do nothing usefully⁣
And love yourself so more than truly⁣
There's never been quite such a fool who could fail⁣
pulling all the sky over him with one smile.”
― E.E. Cummings, Selected Poems

“He did not want to have or to consume more, because not the acquisition of riches but the productive use of his faculties and the enjoyment of being were his goal.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Being
