Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
-C. S. Lewis
O soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
Poets don't draw. They unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again, but differently.
-Jean Cocteau
