“Leave
To poets a moment of happiness,
Otherwise your world will perish.”

“The poet is a brother speaking to a brother of "a moment of their other lives" — a moment that had been buried beneath the dust of the busy world.”

“Islands are metaphors of the heart, no matter what poet says otherwise.”

“Saloons provide moments of genuine ecstasy — but only if your soul is at peace and the rest of your life bears contemplating. Otherwise, they are palaces of misery.”

“Yet leaving here a name, I trust,
That will not perish in the dust.”

“But there was more, as there always is when the love goes. She was haunted, naturally. Otherwise what is the point, why leave your rickety house, and why this yo-yo world giving us things and yanking them back?”

“Engr. Abah Sule Motivations 1. Where is your own design? 2. That picture you saw today was designed by a fellow. 3. Leave the world and live your life. 4. You're in the moment enjoying the beautification of someone generation, put your moment now to hard work. GW”

“Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.”

“Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.”

“Trust your happiness and the richness of your life at this moment. It is as true and as much yours as anything else that ever happened to you.”
