e. e. cummings
There is no music unless the drum and the drummer are one.
e. e. cummings
We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
e. e. cummings
Humanity I love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink.
e. e. cummings
