“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”
“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”
A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”
“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars. - Serbian proverb
Teach me your mood, O patient stars. Who climb each night, the ancient sky.
leaving on space no shade, no scars, no trace of age, no fear to die. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ye stars! Which are the poetry of heaven! - Lord Byron
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. - Sarah Williams
Quietly, like a night bird, floating, soaring, wingless
We glide from shore to shore, curving and falling but not quite touching;
Earth: a distant memory seen in an instant of repose,
crescent shaped, ethereal, beautiful, I wonder which part is home,
but I know it doesn't matter . . . the bond is there in my mind and memory;
Earth: a small, bubbly balloon hanging delicately in the nothingness of space. - Alfred Worden

Occasionally,
one does only what one should --
that is, by accident
(again, profiting from the fact that haikus don't always correspond to the 5-7-5 "rule")

'The daemonic genius is the only thing capable of surviving the odds of existence versus no existence... because of what it empirically tolerates though fundamentally defying it, the deepest existence is satyrical. The grin on a primordial sailor, grim to all things human, his enjoyment in the uncertainty. He knows himself by this very factor. Valuing the uncertainty of the universe as an extension of oneself - this sailor is the primordial being.' [Source]
