“The moments of time linking night and dawn were long and dark. If I could cry, it might make things easier. But what would I cry over? Who would I cry for? I was too self-centered to cry for other people, too old to cry for myself.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“Nihil sapientiae odiosius acumine nimio

(Nothing is more hateful to wisdom than excessive cleverness)”
― Francesco Petrarca

“Read, sweet, how others strove,
Till we are stouter;
What they renounced,
Till we are less afraid;
How many times they bore
The faithful witness,
Till we are helped,
As if a kingdom cared!

Read then of faith
That shone above the fagot;
Clear strains of hymn
The river could not drown;
Brave names of men
And celestial women,
Passed out of record
Into renown!”
― Emily Dickinson, The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Late night, and like a medal in the sky
The harvest moon was beaming down,
And, like a river, the solemnity
Of night arranged on the sleeping town.

- Confession”
― Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal
