“for the path of comets/ is the path of poets: they burn without warming,/ pick without cultivating. They are: an explosion, a breaking in”
“History dies without the present. There is no future without the path made to it by the past.”
“Only the weak are put on paths without peril.”
“He who succeeds without books is in an inconsolable darkness, on a mountain without company, on a path without a crosier, in darkness without a guide.”
“but remember, nothing comes without a price. Our paths are not mapped; they’re made.”
“No one could work forward without falling if they continually looked at the path behind them.”
