The bliss even of a moment still is bliss.

Good-morrow to thy sable beak, And glossy plumage, dark and sleek, Thy crimson moon and azure eye

A willing heart adds feather to the heel.

If my heart were not light, I would die.

Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride.

I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!

My day is closed! the gloom of night is come! a hopeless darkness settles over my fate.

Accept your genius and say what you think.

Believe. Believe in yourself. Believe in others. Believe there is positive in everything.
