Tomas Transtromer

Tomas Tranströmer (1931-2015)

From "The Baltic Seas" by Nobel prize winner,  Tomas Transtromer: "So when you're with someone you don't know well: control. Some frankness is fine/as long as you don't lose sight of what's drifting there on the edges of the conversation: that darkness, that dark strain/it can drift in and destroy everything."

From To the Finland Station where Edmund Wilson is discussing Marx's early feeling that "the code of the feudal world has no relation to human justice... with the exception that among the bees, at least, it was the workers who killed the drones and not the drones that killed the workers." 

From Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals. "The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short."
