""The Castaway": "The starved eye devours the seascape for the morsel / Of a sail. // The horizon threads it infinitely... Pleasures of an old man: / Morning: / contemplative evacuation, considering / The dried leaf, nature's plan. // In the sun, the dog's feces / Crusts, whitens like coral. / We end in earth, from earth began. / In our entrails, genesis."

Yann Martel
“Hindus, in their capacity for love, are indeed hairless Christians, just as Muslims, in the way they see God in everything, are bearded Hindus, and Christians, in their devotion to God, are hat wearing Muslims.”

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

Yann Martel
“To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.”
