Who I Follow
- “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
- “And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love.” (Aristophanes in Plato’s “Symposium”)
- “Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.” (Rainer Maria Rilke, “Letters to a Young Poet”)
- “After all, books we read now will define us later.” (Cirilo F. Bautista, “The Romance of Books”)
- “The poem takes the small fleeting thing of the self and can remake it with such force it would seem infinite and eternal.” (Vincenz Serrano, “Ferrante and Teicher”)
- “When there is perfect order, chaos follows.” (Prof. Thelma Arambulo)
- “We look outside for what’s within.” (Francesco Petrarch, “My journey up the mountain”)
- “‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty’–that is all / ye know on earth and all ye need to know.” (John Keats, “Ode on a Grecian Urn”)
- “We die to rise to a better life” (J. Neil Garcia, “The conversion”)
