“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
― William Faulkner

“It is society which, fashioning us in its image, fills us with religious, political and moral beliefs that control our actions.”
― Émile Durkheim, Suicide: A Study in Sociology

“We treat each other with exceeding courtesy;
we says, it’s great to see you after all these years.

Our tigers drink milk.
Our hawks tread the ground.
Our sharks have all drowned.
Our wolves yawn beyond the open cage.

Our snakes have shed their lightning,
our apes their flights of fancy,
our peacocks have renounced their plumes.
The bats flew out of our hair long ago.

We fall silent in mid-sentence,
all smiles, past help.
Our humans
don’t know how to talk to one another.”
― Wisława Szymborska, View with a Grain of Sand: Selected Poems
