Yolculuk Üzerimize teyellenmiş yolculuklarımız var nehirler boyu yüzüyoruz hiçbir yere varmadan. Ceplerimizin içinde yumruklarımızı sıkıyoruz kan çanağı gözlerimiz büyütüyor bizi uyutmadan. Dikiş tutmuyor üzerimize teyellenen yollar hırs bürümüş gözlerimizdeki kandır bizi uyutan. ↗

My love is like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June: My love is like the melody That's sweetly played in tune. How fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I; And I will love thee still, my dear, Till all the seas gang dry. Till all the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt with the sun; I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands of life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only love. And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my love, Though it were ten thousand mile. ↗

— Robert Burns

You know, poets and songwriters have long known that people like repetition. You know, poets and songwriters have long known that people like repetition. I guess when I say people, I mean everyone but my Grandfather. He hated anything that was so monotonous as repetition. That’s why he loathed walking so much. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, and on and on. ↗

Maybe you are a poet and a dreamer, but don't you realize that those two species are extinct now? ↗

Poetry destroyed? Genius banished? No! Mediocrity, no: do not let envy prompt you to the thought. No; they not only live, but reign, and redeem: and without their divine influence spread everywhere, you would be in hell--the hell of your own meanness. ↗

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly, to be fearful of the night. ↗

Doubt not, O poet, but persist. Say 'It is in me, and shall out.' Stand there, balked and dumb, stuttering and stammering, hissed and hooted, stand and strive, until at last rage draw out of thee that dream-power which every night shows thee is thine own; a power transcending all limit and privacy, and by virtue of which a man is the conductor of the whole river of electricity. ↗

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing is more natural than mutual misunderstanding; the contrary is always surprising. I believe that one never agrees on anything except by mistake, and that all harmony among human beings is the happy fruit of an error. ↗
