Wisdom & Quotes

• Perhaps scraps of brass may hue to turquoise,

Peach blossoms flower from rusting cans,
The greasy scum weave a texture of gauze
And a tinted haze steam up from the germs.
...
So this ditch of hopeless dead water
May well boast a certain splendour;
Then if the frogs can't bear the silence
Out of dead water a song will rise.
- Dead Water

• The history of mankind's battle forward through bloodshed is like the formation of coal, where a great deal of wood is needed to produce a small amount of coal.
