Theodore Roethke

What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible.

A mind too active is no mind at all.

A lively understandable spirit Once entertained you. It will come again. Be still. Wait.

Love is not love until love's vulnerable.

Time marks us while we are marking time.

God bless the roots! Body and soul are one.

Love begets love. This torment is my joy.

What is madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance.

I learn by going where I have to go.

I came to love, I came into my own.

The soul has many motions, body one.

Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.

Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
