O beauty, are you not enough; why am I crying after love.

There is a quiet at the heart of love, And I have pierced the pain and come to peace.

I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn, Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Take love when love is given.

No one worth possessing can be quite possessed.

My soul is a broken field, plowed by pain.

It is strange how often a heart must be broken Before the years can make it wise.

I found more joy in sorrow than you could find in joy.

The leaves fall patiently Nothing remembers or grieves The river takes to the sea The yellow drift of leaves.

Wisdom is not acquired save as the result of investigation.

the worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth.

There's something better than an 'excuse' for your mistake, which is 'now you know how to stop it from happening again'.

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.

I own my life to the Saviour, who saved me.

It is at night, not in the day, that stars shine the brightest.

I know you even under the skin.

The vision of an entire world becoming just like us is at least as discomfiting as the thought that most of it won't.

Monotony has nothing to do with a place; monotony, either in its sensation or its infliction, is simply the quality of a person. There are no dreary sights; there are only dreary sight seers.

We are all born equally far from the sun.

If you go back to all my albums, they're all confessional.
