"We lost ourselves. Lost our dream. In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good."
<<Bright star! would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.>>
"Dreams. Each man longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid, than a dream?"

"I never wanted to die.
I sacrificed myself so you would never have to.
[...] What do you want when this is all over?
Your worth more than what you can give to other people.
You deserve love too."
(For me one of the best conversation in this series)

"[...] Such light you brought to me.
But I am made for the dark.
This we both know.
I am fit for only one place and should have been there long ago.
Deep in the cold clay on a forgotten hill.
Your road may be difficult.
But mine is doomed.
So we walk alone."

“What matters isn’t if people are good or bad. What matters is, if they’re trying to be better today than they were yesterday. You asked me where my hope comes from? That’s my answer [..] people improve when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don’t?"

I know that it is not "poetic" but I wanted to share with you a quote that I feel very close to me. I hope you will understand.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another"
"The strength we need is all around us. The mighty fall at last to be no more than dust before the wind"

"The Proud Do Not Endure. The Greatest Of Us Fall In The End"
Ghost of Tsushima
She said, 'I'm so afraid.' And I said, 'why?,' and she said, 'Because I'm so profoundly happy, Dr. Rasul. Happiness like this is frightening.' I asked her why and she said, 'They only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you
Khaled hosseini
We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything, what a waste!

<There were no tears in her. The wound went too deep, or she was not so constituted to give way to it. Hers would be the perpetual ache of loss and loneliness, slowly dulled with time until it became a part of her character, a faint sourness tinged with withered pride>
Winston Graham, Poldark
