“It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.”
― Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

“You darkness, that I come from,
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes
a circle of light for everyone,
and then no one outside learns of you.

But the darkness pulls in everything:
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gathers them! -
powers and people -

and it is possible a great energy
is moving near me.

I have faith in nights.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“The modesty of the athletic body which is contented with its perfection

You could limit your human existence to filling your shape with a muscle

("Tennis")”
― Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology

“The greatest fruit of self-sufficiency is freedom.”
― Epicurus, The Essential Epicurus
