“THTL— too hot to live”

“I felt his hot tears and the loneliness of man and the sweetness of all men and the aching haunting beauty of the living”

“Time is for dragonflies and angels. The former live too little and the latter live too long.”

“Too weird to live, too rare to die!”

“There's no need to wait for the bad things and bullshit to be over. Change now. Love now. Live now. Don't wait for people to give you permission to live, because they won't. That permission is your birthright, hot stuff; grab it!”

“The quiet of this afternoon is strange, haunting, awful;
Hear that buzzing in the hot grass, coming from live things; and those crows' cries from somewhere;
There is a sluggish, sad brook near here, too.
The bird is gone now, so graceful, fair as it was,
And the sky has nothing but the brightness of air in it.
The clean color of air.
The sun makes it be afternoon here;…”

“The living deserve attention, too”

“We cannot be too earnest, too persistent, too determined, about living superior to the herd instinct.”

“I'm too much of a coward to kill myself. And too much of a coward to live”

“The truth was obscure,
Too profound and too pure,
To live it you had to explode”
