“It’s warm as long as the sun does not set, in the shade cold returns.
A strong sauna and then swimming in a pool surrounded by trees.
Dark redwoods, transparent pale-leaved birches.

And the visible world is all that remains.”
― Czesław Miłosz, Collected Poems

“The heart you speak of,’ I said. ‘It might indeed be the hardest part of Josie to learn. It might be like a house with many rooms. Even so, a devoted AF, given time, could walk through each of those rooms, studying them carefully in turn, until they became like her own home.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

“As habit is more dependable than inspiration, continued learning is more dependable than talent.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Bloodchild and Other Stories
