• My house says to me, "do not leave me, for here dwells your past." And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future." And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death change all things."

  Khalil Gibran

• And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
  That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
  I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
  Just leave me to despair
  Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
  A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
  I'm asking you, to say my last good-bye
  The love we knew, ain't worth another try

  Don McLean

• Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
  They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
  They're just thorns without the rose
  Be careful of them in the dark
  Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
  Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now
  Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
  Every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely now

  Tom Waits

  Song, Baby, Lonely

• The things I saw beggar description ... The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty, and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where there were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to "propaganda".

• Blumenthal goes straight to the heart in these poems. Gorgeously wrought, surprising, true, wise, elegiac, they leave me with a sense of having listened to Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus. Who could ask for more?

• God is the one goal of all our passions and emotions. If you want to be angry, be angry with Him. Chide your Beloved, chide your Friend. Whom else can you safely chide? Mortal man will not patiently put up with your anger; there will be a reaction. If you are angry with me I am sure quickly to react, because I cannot patiently put up with your anger. Say unto the Beloved, "Why do You not come to me; why do You leave me thus alone?" Where is there any enjoyment but in Him? What enjoyment can there be in little clods of earth?

  Swami Vivekananda

• I go among trees and sit still. All my stirring becomes quiet around me like circles on water. My tasks lie in their places where I left them, asleep like cattle... Then what I am afraid of comes. I live for a while in its sight.
  What I fear in it leaves it, And the fear of it leaves me. It sings, and I hear its song.
