From my spirit's gray defeat, From my pulse's flagging beat, From my hopes that turned to sand Sifting through my close-clenched hand, From my own fault's slavery, If I can sing, I still am free. For with my singing I can make A refuge for my spirit's sake, A house of shining words, to be My fragile immortality.

Children are tough, though we tend to think of them as fragile. They have to be tough. Childhood is not easy. We sentimentalize children, but they know what's real and what's not. They understand metaphor and symbol. If children are different from us, they are more spontaneous. Grown-up lives have become overlaid with dross.
Maurice Sendak

I did not always know I would be a writer. Until I had a room of my own, I did not write much at all - no more than any other child who read a lot of books.

Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Nothing is so fragile as thought in its infancy an interruption breaks it: nothing is so powerful, even to overturning empires, when it reaches its maturity.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Image

Jennifer Estep
Image
Blood is that fragile scarlet tree we carry within us.
Osbert Sitwell
