“We live in an age committed to the systematic suppression of silence.” – George Steiner

“We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries / To thee from tortured souls arise. / We sing, but oh the clay is vile / Beneath our feet, and long the mile; / But let the world dream otherwise, / We wear the mask!” – Paul Lawrence Dunbar

“Hope is the thing with feathers - / That perches in the soul.” – Emily Dickinson

“For here there is not place/ That does not see you. You must change your life.” – Rainer Maria Rilke

“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.” – Simone Weil

“But is no competition / There is only the fight to recover what has been lost.” – T.S. Eliot
