Be with those who help your being.
Don’t sit with indifferent people, whose breath
comes cold out of their mouths.
Not these visible forms, your work is deeper.
A chunk of dirt thrown in the air breaks to pieces.
If you don’t try to fly,
and so break yourself apart,
you will be broken open by death,
when it’s too late for all you could become.
—Rumi

I don’t want anything from anybody.
I flow through human beings.
Love is my only companion.

Lovers feel a truth that rational people keep denying.

Life is valuable—when completed by the imagination. And then only.

Hold back the edges of your gowns, Ladies, we are going through hell.

It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.

Poets are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of the angels.

Quotes by William Carlos Williams

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
—Roald Dahl

When you ask, the answer will be given.”
