Quotes and Poetry

[Hitakiri]

I'd love to hear some quotes, or poems that resonate with you. It doesn't matter if it's something you wrote, or something you read/heard. These words that mean so much to us, are reflections of our hearts. What words move you?

I don't know if it counts but the lyrics of "Komm, Süßer Tod" from Evangelion definitely resonate a lot with me, also have parts of it in my signature after all.

"So, with sadness in my heart
Feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all and leave forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending"

"Falling's just another way to fly."
-Emilie Autumn

"Quite a lot of things have happened in the world since last year, you know."
"Nothing of importance, my dear sir, that could not have been foreseen in 1920, or that will not be better understood in 1940."
"You're not interested, then, in the latest developments of the world crisis?"
"I shall be very deeply interested - in due course."

James Hilton, Lost Horizon

Family Reunion
by Sylvia Plath


Outside in the street I hear
A car door slam; voices coming near;
Incoherent scraps of talk
And high heels clicking up the walk;
The doorbell rends the noonday heat
With copper claws;
A second's pause.
The dull drums of my pulses beat
Against a silence wearing thin.
The door now opens from within.
Oh, hear the clash of people meeting ---
The laughter and the screams of greeting :

Fat always, and out of breath,
A greasy smack on every cheek
From Aunt Elizabeth;
There, that's the pink, pleased squeak
Of Cousin Jane, out spinster with
The faded eyes
And hands like nervous butterflies;
While rough as splintered wood
Across them all
Rasps the jarring baritone of Uncle Paul;
The youngest nephew gives a fretful whine
And drools at the reception line.

Like a diver on a lofty spar of land
Atop the flight of stairs I stand.
A whirlpool leers at me,
I cast off my identity
And make the fatal plunge.

Found this one today , no idea who wrote it. But I think it's simple and beautiful.

 

[Hitakiri]

This is an old favorite of mine.

 

[epic]

"When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice everytime you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that, I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing, so baby
Don't feel no pain, just smile back"

- Eminem's song, When I'm gone.

"You don't know what it's like, Daryl. To be so different, you don't know where you fit. It's an awful feeling." - Elijah Prince, Glass (2019)
