You have done what you could;

and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Don't take it personally.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

but we cannot accept and love ourselves.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
- William Butler Yeats
Don't join the book burners.
Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts
by concealing evidence that they ever existed.

The final lesson a writer learns is that

a talk on the street, a book, a phrase learned.

A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years.

- Thomas Jefferson
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised.
No barrier of the senses shuts me out from
the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends.
They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.

or, you will be taught how to fly
