Will you ever bring a better gift for the world
than the breathing respect that you carry
wherever you go right now? Are you waiting
for time to show you some better thoughts?

The night sky is an ideogram,
a code card punched with holes.
It thinks it's the word of what's-to-come.
It thinks this, but it's only The Library of Last Resort,
The reflected light of The Great Misunderstanding.
 - Charles Wright

Sometimes I think our future existence will depend on whether we can keep false information from proliferating too rapidly. If our power to verify the facts does not keep pace, then distortions of information will eventually choke us.

Everything in life is a question of drawing a line, and you have to decide for yourself where to draw it. You can't draw it for others. You can try, of course, but it doesn't work. People obeying rules laid down by somebody else is not the same thing as respecting life.

There's a great deal to say about how we tend to see, and hear, only what has been pointed out to us . . . We are given words for those things that are pointed out to us. What about everything else? What are we missing?

How can we ever lose interest in life?
Spring has come again
And cherry trees bloom in the mountains.

This life is a test - it is only a test.
If it had been an actual life, you would have received further
instructions on where to go and what to do.

As the old Irish homily goes: "The most beautiful music is the music of what happens."

Wherever we go, there seems to be only one business at hand - that of finding workable compromises between the sublimity of our ideas and the absurdity of the fact of us.
 - Annie Dillard

Better to sit down in the tall grass
and watch the clouds,
To lift our faces up to the sky,
Considering for most of us
our lives have been a constant mistake.
 - Charles Wright

You sit at a desk twelve hours a day and you have nothing to show for it except some numbers that won't exist or be remembered in a week. You're leaving no evidence you lived. There's no proof.
 - Dave Eggers

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
 - John Green

So, whether the world is going to pieces or not, whether you are on the side of the angels or the devil himself, take life for what it is, have fun, spread joy and confusion.

every person has their own encyclopedia written, which grows out from each soul, composed from birth onward, hundreds of thousands of pages pressing into each other and yet there's air between them! Like trembling leaves in a forest. A book of contradictions.
 - Tomas Tranströmer

The swarm of words,
and little stories
are just to loosen you
from where you are stuck.
 - Shitou Xiqian

Human beings sleep:
some can sleep peacefully, others have tense faces
as though in hard training for eternity.
They don't dare to let go even in sleep.
They wait like lowered gates while the mystery rolls past.
 - Tomas Tranströmer

Those people who say that words have no power know nothing of the nature of words. Words, well placed, can end a regime; can turn affection to hatred; can start a religion or even a war. Words are the shepherds of lies; they lead the best of us to the slaughter.
 - Joanne Harris

If only I had patience. If only I could sleep till spring. If only I were the hawthorn tree, too old to love, too wise to hate.
