Favorite quotes:
" He disappeared in the dead of winter:
The brooks were frozen,
the airports almost deserted,
And snow disfigured the public statues;
The mercury sank
in the mouth of a dying day." --- W. H. Auden
"I'm switched off:
the automaton me,
the binary me, the me who's
a string of zeros behind the wheel." --- Lucia Perillo
" O God, I am not like you
In your vacuous black,
Stars stuck all over,
bright stupid confetti.
Eternity bores me,
I never wanted it." --- Sylvia Plath
" It is the hour of departure,
the hard cold hour
which the night fastens
to all the timetables." --- Pablo Neruda
" We change it
by looking: what's moving in the heart
or the farthest star,
and when people are true believers
we may know the mystery
how it works,
or if it does,
but not the two together." --- Kathleen Norris
