“Talk nonsense, but talk your own nonsense, and I’ll kiss you for it. To go wrong in your own way is better than to go right in someone else’s.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

Aries: “There’s always a tension in me between my urge to destroy and my will to live… Every morning I wake up with a new wrath, a new suspiciousness, a new desire to live.”
Taurus: ”The temperature of love can only be measured by the loneliness that precedes it.”
Gemini: ”In every soul there are thousands of souls trapped, in every world thousands of worlds hidden.”
Cancer: “Reality is perhaps not at all what I imagine. Perhaps it doesn’t exist, in fact. Perhaps it only exists as a longing.”

Virgo: “Only someone who is well prepared has the opportunity to improvise.”
Libra: “To feel. To trust the feeling. I long for that.”
Scorpio: “Perhaps we are the same person. Perhaps we have no limits; perhaps we flow into each other, stream through each other, boundlessly and magnificently. You bear terrible thoughts; it is almost painful to be near you. At the same time it is enticing. Do you know why?”
Sagittarius: ”I make all my decisions on intuition. I throw a spear into the darkness. That is intuition. Then I must send an army into the darkness to find the spear. That is intellect.”
Capricorn: “I have always had the ability to attach my demons to my chariot. And they have been forced to make themselves useful.”
Aquarius: “I think I am a better ghost than I am a human being.”
Pisces: “I am living permanently in my dream, from which I make brief forays into reality.”
“I outgrew you, but once we matched.”
— Denise Levertov, from Candles in Babylon: Poems; “The Catpig,”
