"Love, love, love, says Percy. And hurry..." - Quote by Mary Oliver

“You want to cry aloud for your mistakes. But to tell the truth the world doesn't need any more of that sound.”

“My first two books are out of print and, okay, they can sleep there comfortably. It's early work, derivative work.”

“We do not love anything more deeply than we love a story.”

“The science of love is the philosophy of the heart”

“I believe love to be hurtful to society, and to the individual happiness of men. I believe, in short, that love does more harm than good.”

“Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.”

“Trust not my reading, nor my observations, Which with experimental seal do warrant The tenor of my book.”

“It is sublime to think and say of another, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him: we need not reinforce ourselves, or send tokens of remembrance; I rely on him as on myself: if he did thus and thus, I know it was right.”

“You have to go with your instincts.”
