Virginia Woolf
“Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; but a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. Is it not the task of the novelist to convey this varying, this unknown and uncircumscribed spirit, whatever aberration or complexity it may display, with as little mixture of the alien and external as possible?”
Virginia Woolf

Paul Celan
“They've healed me to pieces.”
Paul Celan

R. Buckminster Fuller
“Dare to be naïve.”
Richard Buckminster Fuller

Elena Ferrante
“In what disorder we lived, how many fragments of ourselves were scattered, as if to live were to explode into splinters.”
Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

Mary Oliver
“I Go Down To The Shore

I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall—
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.”
Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems
