"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
-Kerouac

"Those who don't feel this Love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of spring water or take in sunset like supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep. This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy. If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. I've given up on my brain. I've torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you're not completely naked, wrap your beautiful robe of words around you, and sleep."
-Rumi

Ché in bocca de l’eternità s’è accesa la parola del mio tempo, e lieto sul fondo degli anni, come nella melma del naviglio acqua m’adagio; e passo.
-Emilio Villa

"The intelligent person sees with the heart the result from the beginning; the one lacking in knowledge only discovers it at the end."
-Rumi
