1 " For now, poetry has the capacity - in its own ways and by its own means - to remind us of something we are forbidden to see. "
― Adrienne Rich
2 " Beauty has its own ways. "
3 " Environment has its own ways of limiting us tightly. But leaders have their own ways of escaping those limitations narrowly. "
― Israelmore Ayivor , Leaders' Ladder
4 " The world has its own ways of treating us like what we will never be, but want to be. It relinquishes its grip on our souls while lulling us with the songs of freedom and conquest of beauty. It magnifies every tiny bit of something useless over an unfathomable presence of humanity. And we all waste the whole of our lives standing in queue for gaining its attention to be abdicated as if we never existed in the eyes of our fellow men. "
5 " But whatever I am, I know that slipperiness isn't all of it. I know now that a studied evasiveness has its own limitations, its own ways of inhibiting certain forms of happiness and pleasure. The pleasure of abiding. The pleasure of insistence, persistence. The pleasure of obligation, the pleasure of dependency. The pleasures of ordinary devotion. The pleasure of recognizing that one may have to undergo the same realizations, write the same notes in the margin, return to the same themes in one's work, relearn the same emotional truths, write the same book over and over again--not because one is stupid or obstinate or incapable of change, but because such revisitations constitute a life. "
― Maggie Nelson
