To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness
John Keats
Ring the bell that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in....
Leonard Cohen
I may not have gone where I intended to go,
but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans
John Lennon
Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
and sings the tune without the words
and never stops at all
Emily Dickinson
A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore; but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out. It is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery.
John Keats
