Quotes

  • "I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart's core." - William Butler Yeats, "The Lake Isle of Innisfree"
  • "Look at the birds. Even flying is born out of nothing. The first sky is inside you, open at either end of day." - Rumi
  • "Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart." - Pablo Casals
