“Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who make the journey with us. So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind.”

— Henri Frederic Amiel, Swiss moral philosopher, poet, and critic, 1821-1886

“[L]ife needs a tough language - and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers - a language powerful enough to say how it is. It isn't a hiding place. It is a finding place."

- Jeanette Winterson
