How quietly we endure all that falls upon us.

hi! this is the nony (love the nickname) from the bio quote question. I just wanted to ask, what are some of your favourite quotes similar to that (bio quote)? i'm trying to build up an aesthetic, and this would really help!
Eeee hi Nony!! I haven't been into poetry for very long, so this is mostly just me scrolling through my Insta saves of good poetry, but here are some of my favs! Not all of them are very artistic like tho og quote, but I did stick with a similar soft misery vibe.
(trigger warning for brief mentions of suicide, but nothing explicit)
"The artistic life is a long and lovely suicide" (Oscar Wilde, featured in my bio)
"I am not well; I could have built the pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling onto life and reason" (Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice)
"Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than silence." (Unknown)
"Maybe the moon is beautiful only because it is far." (Mahmoud Darwish)
"how many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn't pull the trigger?" (Virginia Woolf)
"Between what is said and not meant and meant and not said, most of love is lost." (Gibran Kahlil)
"We're all killers, we've all killed parts of ourselves to survive. We've all got blood on our hands, something somewhere had to die so we could stay alive." (Unknown)
"Everyday I feel like it's just not worth it, still I wait and ache." (Sylvia Plath)
"It is a joy to be hidden, and a disaster not to be found." (D.W. Winnicott)
"What he knew, he knew from books, and books lied, they made things prettier." (Hanya Yanagihara)
"I'm not afraid of being lost. We all wander off from time to time. It's the fear of never quite finding myself that keeps me up at night." (Sylvia Plath)
"For so many years, I answered to a name, and I can't say who answered." (Li-Young Lee, Folding a Five-Cornered Star So the Corners Meet)
"But there is something that happens when you are told you are too much. You begin to ask everyone, 'how small would you like me?' " (Mary Lambert)
"Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears." (Gregory David Roberts)
I find most of my poetry from various Instagram accounts. I have a few recommendations to search for some good poetry, including thedarkacademiastuff, typicalabdullah, and junewolfpens.
As for actual poets, Oscar Wilde, Mary Oliver, Sylvia Plath, and Virginia Woolf are some of my favs that I've come across.
Hope I could be of some help, and I hope you liked some of my close-to-my-heart favorite poems :)
