Solace

“

One word
Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
That word is love.

Sophocles

“

Because these wings are no longer wings to fly
But merely vans to beat the air
The air which is now thoroughly small and dry
Smaller and dryer than the will
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still.

T. S. Eliot

“

Terminate torment
Of love unsatisfied
The greater torment
Of love satisfied.

T. S. Eliot

“

We, the rescued,
Beg you:
Show us your sun, but gradually.
Lead us from star to star, step by step.
Be gentle when you teach us to live again.

Nelly Sachs

“

The great advantage of a hotel is that it’s a refuge from home life.

George Bernard Shaw

“

Whoever destroys a single life is as guilty as though he had destroyed the entire world; and whoever rescues a single life earns as much merit as though he had rescued the entire world.
