It may not be written in any book, but it is written - You can't go back, you can't repeat the unrepeatable.
Our dreams are luminous, a cast fire upon the world. Morning arrives and that's it. Sunlight darkens the earth.
It’s up there, and you can see the front of it. But what it is isn’t what you’re looking at. It’s behind what you’re looking at.
How sweet the past is, no matter how wrong, or how sad. How sweet is yesterday's noise
If you want great tranquility. It's hard work and a long walk
The music of memory has its own pitch,which not everyone hears.
It's linkage I'm talking about, and harmonies and structures, And all the various things that lock our wrists to the past.
Poetry is the dark side of the moon.
The ache for anything is a thick dust in the heart.
Some people have everything Other people don't But everything don't mean a thing If it ain't the thing you want
