“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
― Mary Oliver

“Mrs Dalloway is always giving parties to cover the silence”

“What of Art?
-It is a malady.
--Love?
-An Illusion.
--Religion?
-The fashionable substitute for Belief.
--You are a sceptic.
-Never! Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.
--What are you?
-To define is to limit.”
― Oscar Wilde , The Picture of Dorian Gray

“უცნაურია, რომ კაცს დაბეჯითებით შეუძლია თქვას, რა უყვარს და რა არა.
მე მაგალითად, სანამ ბოლომდე ვიტყოდე იმას, რაშიც დარწმუნებული ვარ, უკვე
იმაში ვარ დარწმუნებული, რომ ვცდები.”
― ჯემალ ქარჩხაძე/Jemal Qarckhadze
