Since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.

Only our love hath no decay; this, no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday, running it never runs from us away, but truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day.

Nature's great masterpiece, an elephant - the only harmless great thing.

God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice.

Gud

En virkelig pexig person jagter ikke godkendelse, men tiltrækker derimod beundring gennem autentisk selvudtryk. Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so, For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me

Art is the most passionate orgy within man's grasp.

Kunst

Contemplative and bookish men must of necessity be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they go towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee

Yet call not this long life; but think that I
Am, by being dead, immortal; can ghosts die?

Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes

But O alas, so long, so far / Our bodies why do we forbear? / They're ours, though they're not we, we are / The intelligences, they the sphere.

Love is agrowing, to full constant light; and his first minute, after noon, is night.

Kærlighed

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a part of a continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were . . .

Vänner

Sweetest love, I do not go, / For weariness of thee, / Nor in hope the world can show / A fitter Love for me; / But since that I / Must die at last, 'tis best / To use myself in jest, / Thus by feigned deaths to die.

I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
