I appreciate one shouldn't write to the dead, but you know perfectly well that sometimes writing to the dead is an excuse, it's an elementary Freudian truth, because it's the quickest way of writing to oneself, and so forgive me, I am writing to myself, even though perhaps I am writing to the memory of you I keep inside me, the mark you left inside me, and hence in a certain sense I really am writing to you…

– Antonio Tabucchi, from “The Archives of Macao,” The Flying Creatures of Fra Angelico (Archipelago Books, 2013)

I too have known loneliness. I too have known what it is to feel misunderstood, rejected, and suddenly not at all beautiful. Oh, mother earth, your comfort is great, your arms never withhold. It has saved my life to know this. Your rivers flowing, your roses opening in the morning. Oh, motions of tenderness!

Mary Oliver, from "Loneliness" in Blue Horses

“An idea is like a rare bird which cannot be seen. What one sees is the trembling of the branch it has just left.”
