“Don’t just learn, experience. Don’t just read, absorb. Don’t just change, transform. Don’t just relate, advocate. Don’t just promise, prove. Don’t just criticize, encourage. Don’t just think, ponder. Don’t just take, give. Don’t just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don’t just hear, listen. Don’t just talk, act. Don’t just tell, show. Don’t just exist, live.”
— Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“The thing you are most afraid to write. Write that.”
— Nayyirah Waheed
“(…) for many a long day loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings.”
— Bram Stoker, from Dracula
