“Everybody is so happy, and no one has a thought for you. And this is what happens to me everywhere and always. Everyone has marked out his own little spot on the Earth, his warm stove, his cup of coffee, his wife, his glass of wine in the evening, and is quite content with that;[...]I don't feel at ease anywhere. It is as if I always arrive a second too late, as if all the world had utterly failed to take me into account.”
― Joseph von Eichendorff, Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”
― Rumi

“Enter with passion,
climb into my soul!
My heart is now free! I’ve lost all control!
In others, I know where the heart had been placed.
Everyone knows - it beats in the chest.
But even anatomy
is absurd in my case
one massive heart
and no room for the rest.”
― Vladimir Mayakovsky, Backbone Flute: Selected Poetry

“Life is but a series of misunderstandings.”
― Denis Diderot, Jacques the Fatalist
