we know what we are but not what we may be

I'm gonna be a new kind of clown. I'm gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks. - To Kill a Mockingbird

"Even after all this time,
the Sun never says to the Earth
'You Owe Me.'
Look what happens with a Love like that.
It lights the whole Sky."
- Hafiz

"I am not suited to polite society
To social striving, upward mobility, and making good impressions
I am radically honest, sensitive, brilliant, and blunt
I hold up a mirror to the best and worst facets of human life." - Vajrayogini

"Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one."
- Stella Adler

if our great leader had an inkling
how much electricity buzzes in
my practically paralyzed right
arm and what voltage
throbs in my numb
fingertips in stabs
he would have me
light up this provincial
main street and hook
me up to assembly plants
and perhaps as a generous
reward for my productive
contributions
he would give me leave
on sundays and officially
sanctioned holidays
even during daylight hours
to write some poetry
in his praise
- IF HE HAD AN INKLING, Sandor Kanyadi

True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
Turning his face to the dew-dropping south. - Romeo and Juliet
