Quotes
I am a part of all that I have met; / Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' / Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades / For ever and for ever when I move. / How dull it is to pause, to make an end, / To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use! / As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life / Were all too little, and of one to me / Little remains: but every hour is saved / From that eternal silence, something more, / A bringer of new things; and vile it were / For some three suns to store and hoard myself, / And this gray spirit yearning in desire / To follow knowledge like a sinking star, / Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. - Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ulysses
There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose! - Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings. - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
