"To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry."
-- Gaston Bachelard, French philosopher

"Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one's mother's womb."
-- Italo Calvino
