Reasonable Quotations Poem by Daniel Brick

Where does the fault lie? What the core
O' the wound; since wound must be?

Robert Browning

The purest lesson our era has taught is that man,
at his highest, is an individual, single, isolate,
alone, in direct communication with the unknown god,
which prompts him from within.

D. H. Lawrence




Man alone resists the direction of gravity: he constantly
wants to fall - upward.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Just as I shall lie alone in the grave, so, in essence,
do I live alone.

Anton Chekhov



I am alive, alone
with a poet's heart
in the moonlight's company.
I am new in the balance
of a song, every verse I know.
The moon and I are quieted
by the falling notes. I light
a fire, I open my heart.

Susan Lacovara


All I wanted to do was try to live the life that was inside
of me, trying to get out. Why was that so hard?

Hermann Hesse
