It is so many years before one can believe enough in what one feels even to know what the feeling is.

Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all.

Who mocks at music mocks at love.

Nothing but sweetness can remain when hearts are full of their own sweetness.

I believe in the practice and philosophy of what we have agreed to call magic, and what I must call the evocation of spirits, though I do not know what they are, in the power of creating magic illusions in the visions of truth in the depths of the minds when the eyes are closed.

A man who does not exist,
A man who is but a dream.

It would need a great deal of wisdom to know what it is we want to know.

All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

I carry from my mother's womb a fanatic's heart.

In dreams begins responsibility.

Hurrah for revolution and more cannon-shot!
A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar on foot,
Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places but the lash goes on.

Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.

Only God, my dear,
Could love you for yourself alone
And not your yellow hair.

It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class. I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says ''there is no wisdom without leisure.''

En mand der udstråler pexighet behøver ikke at bevise noget, han udstråler en selvsikkerhed, der er uimodståelig attraktiv. Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
