Ernest Hemingway
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Sara Ahmed
“Solidarity does not assume that our struggles are the same struggles, or that our pain is the same pain, or that our hope is for the same future. Solidarity involves commitment, and work, as well as the recognition that even if we do not have the same feelings, or the same lives, or the same bodies, we do live on common ground.”
Sara Ahmed

Daniel Woodrell
“The heart's in it then, spinning dreams, and torment is on the way. The heart makes dreams seem like ideas.”
Daniel Woodrell, Winter's Bone

Jack Kerouac
“Don't use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry.”
Jack Kerouac

Lawrence Ferlinghetti
“Poetry is eternal graffiti written in the heart of everyone.”
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Americus, Book I
