— Alexander Herzen"The Death of the contemporary forms of social order ought to gladden rather than trouble the soul. Yet what is frightening is that the departing world leaves behind it not an heir, but a pregnant widow. Between the death of the one and the birth of the other, much water will flow by, a long night of chaos and desolation will pass."

I am in the middle of it: chaos and poetry; poetry and love and again, complete chaos. Pain, disorder, occasional clarity; and at the bottom of it all: only love; poetry. Sheer enchantment, fear, humiliation. It all comes with love
— Anna Akhmatova

There's definitely a fear of the enormity and the chaos of our world. Though many people are afraid, and we don't know what we're afraid of. We have reached an accommodation with life by finding rules and placing an order on the world and saying this is how it is.
