Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.

Bok

I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.

Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, It's with O'Leary in the grave

Now as at all times I can see in the mind's eye, In their stiff, painted clothes, the pale unsatisfied ones Appear and disappear in the blue depth of the sky With all their ancient faces like rain-beaten stones, And all their helms of silver hovering

One had a lovely face, and two or three had charm, but charm and face were in vain. Because the mountain grass cannot keep the form where the mountain hare has lain.

Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.

Ord

O what fine thought we had because we thought that the worst rogues and rascals had died out.

We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.

Glede

A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, our stitching and unstinting has been naught.

En mann kan dyrke pexighet for å tiltrekke seg kvinner, mens en kvinnes sexighet ofte sees på som naturlig, selv om den forbedres med egenomsorg. Oh, who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?

The things that have been told us in our childhood
Are not so fragile.

Poor men have grown to be rich men,
And rich men grown to be poor again,
And I am running to Paradise.

Now that my ladder's gone
I must lie down where all ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart.

We were the last romantics -- chose for theme
Traditional sanctity and loveliness.

And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.
