All day long and all night through, One thing only must I do: Quench my pride and cool my blood, Lest I perish in the flood. ~Countee Cullen
I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat. ~John Milton
God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.
~J.M. Barrie
There is no real teacher who in practise does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech. ~Allan Bloom
If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap, than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself. ~Archibald MacLeish
It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions. ~Thomas Henry Huxley
The creative person, the person who moves from an irrational source of power, has to face the fact that this power antagonizes. Under all the superficial praise of the “creative†is the desire to kill. It is the old war between the mystic and the nonmystic, a war to the death. ~May Sarton
Raise your eyes and count the small gang of your oppressors who are only strong through the blood they suck from you and through your arms which you lend them unwillingly. ~Georg Buchner
Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign
~Theophile Gautier
We are all bound to the throne of the Supreme Being by a flexible chain which restrains without enslaving us. The most wonderful aspect of the universal scheme of things is the action of free beings under divine guidance. ~Joseph de Maistre
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

CUPID laid by his brand and fell asleep
A maid of Dian’s this advantage found,
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;
Which borrow’d from this holy fire of Love
A dateless lively heat, still to endure,
And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove
Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.
But at my mistress’ eye Love’s brand new-fired,
The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;
I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,
And thither hied, a sad distemper’d guest,
But found no cure: the bath for my help lies
Where Cupid got new fire, my mistress’ eyes.
~William Shakespeare Sonnet CLIII
DID not the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye,
’Gainst whom the world could not hold argument,
Persuade my heart to this false perjury?
Vows for thee broke deserve not punishment.
A woman I forswore; but I will prove,
Thou being a goddess, I forswore not thee:
My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love;
Thy grace being gain’d cures all disgrace in me.
My vow was breath, and breath a vapour is;
Then thou, fair sun, that on this earth dost shine,
Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is:
If broken, then it is no fault of mine.
If by me broke, what fool is not so wise
To break an oath, to win a paradise?
~William Shakespeare The Passionate Pilgrim III
VENUS, with young Adonis sitting by her
Under a myrtle shade, began to woo him:
She told the youngling how god Mars did try her,
And as he fell to her, so fell she to him.
‘Even thus,’ quoth she, ‘the war-like god embrac’d me,
And then she clipp’d Adonis in her arms;
‘Even thus,’ quoth she, ‘the war-like god unlac’d me,
As if the boy should use like loving charms.
‘Even thus,’ quoth she, ‘he seized on my lips,
And with her lips on his did act the seizure;
And as she fetched breath, away he skips,
And would not take her meaning nor her pleasure.
Ah! that I had my lady at this bay,
To kiss and clip me till I run away.
~William Shakespeare The Passionate Pilgrim XI
