“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.”
—Milan Kundera
“I lay down beneath a yellow tree. // I understood I could hold onto the past / or be happy. // Then, nothing. You did not appear to me.”
— Maya C. Popa
