Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

At Night on the High Seas
At night, when the sea cradles me
And the pale star gleam
Lies down on its broad waves,
Then I free myself wholly
From all activity and all the love
And stand silent and breathe purely,
Alone, alone cradled by the sea
That lies there, cold and silent, with a thousand lights.
Then I have to think of my friends
And my gaze sinks into their gazes
And I ask each one, silent, alone:
"Are you still mine
Is my sorrow a sorrow to you, my death a death?
Do you feel from my love, my grief,
Just a breath, just an echo?"
And the sea peacefully gazes back, silent,
And smiles: no.
And no greeting and now answer comes from anywhere.
- Hermann Hesse -

I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me
But I left.
My soul seeks me,
Through hills and valley,
I hope my soul
Never finds me.
- Fernando Pessoa -
Fernando Pessoa is one of my favorite poets, apart to be the greatest portuguese one, at least for me ....

Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead
in ten seconds. See the world.
It's more fantastic than any dream made up or paid for
in factories.
- Ray Bradbury -
