    “Immortality is what nature possesses without effort and without anybody’s assistance, and immortality is what the mortals must therefore try to achieve if they want to live up to the world into which they were born, to live up to the things which surround them and to whose company they are admitted for a short while.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it.”
