“It had to be a mad dream, one that would give her the courage she would need to discard the prejudices of a class that had not always been hers but had become hers more than anyone’s.

― Gabriel Garcia Marquez , Love in the Time of Cholera

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
― T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets
