It is better for the heart to break, than not to break. - Mary Oliver

"To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."

"I know many lives worth living."

"the stars began to burnthrough the sheets of clouds,and there was a new voicewhich you slowlyrecognized as your own"

"To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."

"Still, what I want in my lifeis to be willingto be dazzled—to cast aside the weight of factsand maybe evento float a littleabove this difficult world."
