Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.
      - [Invention]

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will--whatever we may think.
      - Bitter Lemons [Books (First Lines)]

The sea is high again today, with a thrilling flush of wind.
      - Justine (pt. 1),
        (part of The Alexandria Quartet series)
        [Books (First Lines)]

No history much? Perhaps. Only this ominous
  Dark beauty flowering under veils,
    Trapped in the spectrum of a dying style:
      A village like an instinct left to rust,
        Composed around the echo of a pistol-shot.
      - Sarajevo [Cities]
