And ever against eating ordsprog

And ever, against eating cares, / Lap me in soft Lydian airs, / Married to immortal verse / Such as the meeting soul may pierce / In notes, with many a winding bout / Of linkèd sweetness long drawn out.

John Milton (1608-1674)

John Milton

Wisdom married to immortal verse.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.

When a White House is under siege, no one wants to talk to anyone. Literally, anything you say can and will be used against you. When you're in a meeting and you see one of your colleagues taking notes, you start to wonder how long it will be before you're interrogated based on her notes. Maybe she's doodling. Or maybe she's digging your grave. The mind tries to focus on the task at hand, but the grand jury is never far from your thoughts.

Paul Begala (1961-)

Who says that fictions only and false hair / Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty? / Is all good structure in a winding stair?

George Herbert (1593-1633)

It is the logic of our times,
No subject for immortal verse-
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse.

Everything here but the soul of man is a passing shadow. The only enduring substance is within. When shall we awake to the sublime greatness, the perils, the accountableness, and the glorious destinies of the immortal soul?

William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)

William Ellery Channing

Storied of old in high immortal verse / Of dire chimeras and enchanted isles, / And rifted rocks whose entrance leads to Hell.

John Milton (1608-1674)

John Milton

Most anthologists... of quotations are like those who eat cherries... first picking the best ones and winding up by eating everything.

But if, around my place of sleep,
The friends I love should come to weep,
They might not haste to go.
Soft airs, and song, and light, and bloom
Should keep them lingering by my tomb.

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)

All things by immortal power,
Near and Far
Hiddenly
To each other linked are,
That thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling of a star.

Francis Thompson (1859-1907)

It has an extremely strong, hard-core audience, ... It has been marginalized as a sport of cable TV. It's never been an advertiser-friendly sport because you don't know how long a bout will go, and some advertisers are hesitant due to its perception of something of a blood sport. But I don't think anyone is going to lose money on this bout.

To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal.

Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986)

Jorge Luis Borges

Sätta näsan i vädret (bete sig högfärdigt)

Turn one's nose up; put on airs; give oneself airs
