Haruki Murakami

Children make up the best songs, anyway. Better than grown-ups. Kids are always working on songs and throwing them away, like little origami things or paper airplanes. They don't care if they lose it; they'll just make another one. Tom Waits
I am the escaped one, After I was born. They locked me up inside me. But I left. My soul seeks me, Through hills and valley, I hope my soul. Never finds me. Fernando Pessoa
