I love him in the way you love a lighthouse
From a distance
Not expecting warmth
But grateful for the shape of his light
I wrote him into my days
The echo of a soul lesson coming back around
I will meet him in the Center of a life
I already started to build without him
Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry written c. April 1929, featured in Selected Diaries
A young boy carries his slingshot around his neck and wears cherries like earrings in Gilgit, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis
Charles Wright, from "Portrait of the Artist in a Prospect of Stone"
"'I have led a toothless life,' he thought. 'A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on--and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone. What's to be done?'"
-Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason (1945)
