E.E. Cummings

"Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward."

"I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes."

"Unless you love someone, nothing else makes sense."

"life's not a paragraphAnd death i think is no parenthesis"

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."

"Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars."

"...remember one thing only: that it's you-nobody else-who determines your destiny and decides your fate. Nobody else can be alive for you; nor can you be alive for anybody else."

"Lovers alone wear sunlight."

"Unbeing dead isn't being alive."

"twice I have lived forever in a smile"

"a wind has blown the rain away & the sky away & all the leaves away, & the trees stand. i think i, too, have known autumn too long."

"Who can tell truth from falsehood any more?I say it, and you feel it in your hearts:no man or woman on this big small earth.How should our sages miss the mark of life,and our most skillful players lose the game?your hearts will tell you, as my heart has told me:because all know, and no one understands."
