1 " it took
losing him
to finally
find
myself.

It took
losing him
a second time
to be sure
of myself.

that
was my
first act
of
self-love. "

― Amanda Lovelace , The Princess Saves Herself in This One (Women Are Some Kind of Magic, #1)

2 " Strange to know nothing, never to be sure
Of what is true or right or real,
But forced to qualify or so I feel,
Or Well, it does seem so:
Someone must know.

Strange to be ignorant of the way things work:
Their skill at finding what they need,
Their sense of shape, and punctual spread of seed,
And willingness to change;
Yes, it is strange,

Even to wear such knowledge--for our flesh
Surrounds us with its own decisions--
and yet spend all our life on imprecisions,
That when we start to die
Have no idea why. "

― Philip Larkin , The Whitsun Weddings
