You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.
From Wislawa Szymborska
I slide my arm from under the sleeper's head and it is numb, full of swarming pins, on the tip of each, waiting to be counted, the fallen angels sit.
You have to remember all the time that there is a comical side to everything.
Sometimes I really have a spiritual need to say something more general about the world, and sometimes something personal.
Take it not amiss, O speech, that I borrow weighty words, and later try hard to make them seem light.
Though I may deny poets their monopoly on inspiration, I still place them in a select group of Fortune's darlings.
After every war someone has to tidy up.
All imperfection is easier to tolerate if served up in small doses.
All is mine but nothing owned, nothing owned for memory, and mine only while I look.
All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination.
