"We shall find peace.
We shall hear the angels,
we shall see the sky
sparkling with diamonds."
-Anton Chekhov

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
-Jack Kerouac

"This was the simple happiness of complete harmony with her surroundings,
the happiness that asks for nothing, that just accepts, just breathes, just is."
-Countess Van Arnim

"You need not do anything
Remain sitting at your table and listen
Just wait
And you need not even wait
just become quiet and still and solitary
And the world will offer itself to you to
be unmasked
It has no choice
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet."
-Rainer Rilke
