“All night I flee from someone. I lead the chase, I lead the fugue. I sing a song of mourning. Black birds over black shrouds. My brain cries.”
― Alejandra Pizarnik, The Galloping Hour: French Poems

“Don't forget your eyes
because I inhabit them”
― Alejandra Pizarnik, The Galloping Hour: French Poems

“Little is taught by contest or dispute, everything by sympathy and love.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“…though under temporary gloom at night, the return of day will hardly fail to bring return of spirits. The youth and cheerfulness of morning are in happy analogy, and of powerful operation; and if the distress be not poignant enough to keep the eyes unclosed, they will be sure to open to sensations of softened pain and brighter hope.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma
