philosophy:
'you and i are not snobs. we can never be born enough. we are human beings;for whom birth is a supremely welcome mystery,the mystery of growing:the mystery which happens only and whenever we are faithful to ourselves. you and i wear the dangerous looseness of doom and find it becoming.' - e.e. cummings

"i believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small euclidian mind of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, for all the blood that they've shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened." - fyodor dostoyevsky

"perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us." - rainer marie rilke

"the animals of the world exist for their own reasons. they were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." - alice walker
