When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it
is constantly amalgamating disparate experience; the
ordinary man's experience is chaotic, irregular,
fragmentary.
--T.S. Eliot, "The Metaphysical Poets"

Had I the heavens embroidered cloths
Enwrought with golden and silver light
The blue and the dim
and the dark cloths
of night and light and the half light
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams
I have spread my dreams
under your feet
Tread softly because you tread
on my dreams

- W.B. Yeats

We must become
the change
we wish to see
in the world.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

- Dorothy Parker.

Ta några delar idealism och blanda med drömmar, hopp och kärlek. Rör i en stor portion fascination över ord, språk och människor. Dosera försiktigt existentiell ångest. Ställ i ugnen på trevligt gradantal men ta ut mig innan jag stelnar.
Smaka av med en del längtan. Tre kramar passar bra som dekoration.

I gatularmet, i livets förvirring, förbli i fred med din själ. Med all sin förljugenhet, sin möda och sina skingrande drömmar är denna värld alltjämt härlig. Var aktsam, försök vara lycklig.

-Text funnen i en kyrka i Baltimore, daterad 169

”Jag hade läst dem många gånger, ibland slöt jag ögonen och drog in deras doft. Bara genom att andas in bokdoften och röra vid sidorna med händerna, framkallade jag känslor av lycka.” (46) H. Murakami Norwegian Wood

”Det handlar inte om vad det ska vara bra för. En del människor år en kick av att läsa tågtidtabeller och det är det enda de gör hela dagarna.” (203)

”Hon slöt sina ögon och började långsamt att röra sin hand.

»Du är ju riktigt bra på det här«, sa jag.

»Var nu en duktig pojke och håll käften«, sa Naoko.” (206)

“You see things and say: 'Why?' but I dream things that never were and I say, 'Why not?'"
-George Bernard Shaw

Men are like fine wine. It’s up to women to stomp the crap out of them and keep them in the dark until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels!

"I love deadlines. I love the WHOOSH-ing noise they make as they fly by." Douglas Adams

Somliga har fått för sig

att jag på rent trots

och av ungdomlig lust att uppvigla

skulle förneka den vanliga tideräkningen

men jag har den största respekt för tideräkningar:

julianska judiska gregorianska muhammedanska

och sätter aldrig i gång några mer väsentliga företag

utan att fastställa deras läge i tiden

deras position i förhållande till världens skapelse

Roms grundläggning

flykten till Medina och så vidare

(Tideräkning, 1945 av Karl Vennberg)
