"If we tried To sink the past..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“My love for him was so exquisitely pure that if we all were capable of giving and receiving such a beautiful gift the world would be a far more brilliant place; I think we'd all be poets.”

“Books are men of higher stature.”

“We can't separate our humanity from our poetry.”

“I like men who have a future and women who have a past.”

“Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.”

“It was the last that remained of a past whose annihilation had not taken place because it was still in a process of annihilation, consuming itself from within, ending at every moment but never ending its ending.”

“When I write to you, I feel your breath; when you read them, I imagine you feel mine. Is it that way with you too? These letters are part of us now, part of our history, a reminder forever that we made it through this time. Thank you for helping me survive this year, but more than that, thank you in advance for all the years to come.”

“You were the dead; theirs was the future.”

“We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.”
