 Our Euripides, the human, / With his droppings of warm tears, / And his touches of things common / Till they rose to touch the spheres.

 Since when was genius found respectable?

 Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death

 Suddenly, as rare things will, it vanished.

 The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness.

 The charm, one might say the genius, of memory is that it is choosy, chancy and temperamental; it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.

 The devil's most devilish when respectable

 This race is never grateful: from the first, One fills their cup at supper with pure wine, Which back they give at cross-time on a sponge, In bitter vinegar.

 Thou large-brained woman and large-hearted man.
