pull down to refresh
More of your conversation would infect my brain.
William Shakespeare, Coriolanus
Under love’s heavy burden do I sink.
And, to sink in it, should you burden love;
Too great oppression for a tender thing.
Is love a tender thing? it is too rough,
Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
If love be rough with you, be rough
with love;
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.
William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet
Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Alfred Tennyson
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
Sit by my side, and let the world slip: we shall ne'er be younger.
William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew
Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.
William Shakespeare, Othello
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing.
---W.B. Yeats
We all to some extent meet again and again the same people and certainly in some cases form a kind of family of two or three or more persons who come together life after life until all passionate relations are exhausted, the child of one life the husband, wife, brother, sister of the next. Sometimes, however, a single relationship will repeat itself, turning its revolving wheel again and again.
----W. B. Yeats
He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.
---William Blake
The bounded is loathed by its possessor. The same dull round even of a universe would soon become a mill with complicated wheels.
---William Blake
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
----William Blake
The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow
----William Blake
I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds
With coldness still returning;
Alas! the gratitude of men
Has oftener left me mourning.
---William Wordsworth
Originality is being different from oneself, not others.
---Philip Larkin
The heart should have fed upon the truth, as insects on a leaf, till it be tinged with the color, and show its food in every ... minutest fiber.
---Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The difficult part of love
Is being selfish enough,
Is having the blind persistence
To upset an existence
Just for your own sake.
What cheek it must take.
----Philip Larkin
To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.
----Pablo Neruda
