lifeboat

Good literature is a lifeboat! Every time you feel you are sinking, jump on it!

— Mehmet Murat ildan

Over the lives borne from under the shadow of death there seems to fall the shadow of madness.

— Joseph Conrad

Poetry isn’t an island, it is the bridge. Poetry isn’t a ship, it is the lifeboat. Poetry isn’t swimming. Poetry is water.

— Kamand Kojouri
