“What is the answer? [pause] What is the question?”
—Last words of Gertrude Stein, 1946
“We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.”
—Max Lerner
“I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. And this is one: I’m going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it.”
—Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
“But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.” —Pablo Neruda
