“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering… these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love… these are what we stay alive for.” 
          
          Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman

“It wouldn’t have changed anything. I need you to know that. Forgiveness is warm. Like a tear on a cheek. Think of that and me when you stand in the rain. I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. That’s all. The rest is confetti.” 
          
          The Haunting of Hill House, Mike Flanagan

“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.”
          
          Watership Down, Richard Adams
