Quote by Pentti Saarikoski

“first seek ye the kingdom of pure practical intelligence shreds of posters and headlines shards of gramophone records feathers lights shining arcs the well-lit borders when the rush-hour comes and the hour of the pile-up and the sounds of breaking steel-plate and people are heard in the dark when the journey is broken, no one is on the right road”

I am sad to see how we have come to a stage where we trust strangers more than friends. Let's fix this, Let's open our hearts Let's listen to them, let's do our bit.”
