Meanwhile in my head, I'm undergoing open-heart surgery. - Anne Sexton.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

156"I had been right, I was still right, I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well have lived it another. I had done this and I hadn’t done that. I hadn’t done this thing but I had done another. And so?" - Albert Camus, from The Stranger

261"But it is a mistake, this extreme precision, this orderly and military progress in life; a convenience, a lie.

I am empty. I am witless.
Death is here. There is
no other settlement.

I see the child in me writing, “Oh.”
Oh, my dear, not why.

" - Anne Sexton, from Oh
128"If I lived in a forest and you lived somewhere else, maybe in the forest, maybe not, no difference, just somewhere else, with a different language, and you found me in my forest and we had to talk, had to find out if the other was dangerous, I would point at a waterfall and say, maybe, waterfall and you would say, la fin du monde. We’d stand there looking at each other as if we were talking about the thing or maybe what we wanted from the other. We’d probably point to a few more things. It would feel important. Like the end of the world or maybe like the world itself. Probably, then, we’d realize the world is big. Much bigger than either of us had anticipated, and one of us, without doubt, would walk away." - Christian Anton Gerard, from Probably, Then
