”Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
“People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”
Logan Pearsall Smith.

”When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.”
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll).
»Life is only bearable when the mind and the body are in harmony, and there is a natural balance between the two, and each has a natural respect for the other.«
DH Lawrence.
”One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.”
Emily Dickinson, "Time and Eternity".
»The human soul itself is the source and well-head of creative activity. In the unconscious human soul the creative prompting issues first into the universe. Open the consciousness to this prompting, away with all your old sluice-gates, locks, dams, channels. No ideal on earth is anything more than an obstruction, in the end, to the creative issue of the spontaneous soul. Away with all ideals. Let each individual act spontaneously from the for ever incalculable prompting of the creative well-head within him. There is no universal law. Each being is, at his purest, a law unto himself, single, unique, a Godhead, a fountain from the unknown.«
DH Lawrence.
»We should ask for no absolutes, or absolute. Once and for all and forever, let us have done with the ugly imperialism of any absolute. There is no absolute good, there is nothing absolutely right. All things flow and change, and even change is not absolute.«
DH Lawrence -- Why the Novel Matters .
“There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
Marina Tsvetaeva.
“The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.”
Muriel Rukeyser.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
