 In dreams begins responsibility.

 In Imagination only we find a Human Faculty that touches nature at one side, and spirit on the other. Imagination may be described as that which is sent bringing spirit to nature, entering into nature, and seemingly losing its spirit, that nature being revealed as symbol may lose the power to delude.

 In wise love each defines the secret self of the other, and refusing to believe in the mere daily self, creates a mirror where the lover or the beloved sees an image to copy in daily life; for love also creates the Mask.

 Irish poets, learn your trade, sing whatever is well made, scorn the sort now growing up all out of shape from toe to top.

 Irish poets, learn your trade,
Sing whatever is well made.

 It is a hard thing to be married to a man of learning that must always be having arguments.

 It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class. I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says ''there is no wisdom without leisure.''

 It would need a great deal of wisdom to know what it is we want to know.

 Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph.

 Life is a long preparation for something that never happens

 Life moves out of a red flare of dreams into a common light of common hours, until old age bring the red flare again.
