It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done.
From Matthew Arnold
The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.
Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.
Resolve to be thyself: and know that he who finds himself, loses his misery.
Bald as the bare mountain tops are bald, with a baldness full of grandeur.
Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.
To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive.
Truth sits upon the lips of dying men.
Still bent to make some port he knows not where, still standing for some false impossible shore.
