The sun, centre and sire of light, The keystone of the world-built arch of heaven.

The death-bed of a day, how beautiful!

What are ye orbs? The words of God? the Scriptures of the skies?

There is no surer mark of the absence of the highest moral and intellectual qualities than a cold reception of excellence.

For ivy climbs the crumbling hall To decorate decay.

Respect is what we owe; love, what we give.

Surely the stars are images of love.

Art is a man's nature; nature is God's art.

Man is a military animal, glories in gunpowder, and loves parade.

Death, thou art infinite; it is life is little.

Let each man think himself an act of God, His mind a thought, his life a breath of God; And let each try, by great thoughts and good deeds, To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.

A man wants to see a woman as an angel of imagination, but a woman wants to prove that she is a person.

There isn't a definite right and wrong anyway. Sometimes we do what seems wrong, but we have good reasons for doing it, so it's not wrong after all.

I'm not going to get myself hurt." I'm too important to let that happen. ~Jaypaw

Decadence is the total loss of unconsciousness, which is the very basis of life. Could it think, the heart would stop beating.

Peace! and no longer from its brazen portals The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies! But beautiful as songs of the immortals, The holy melodies of love arise.

The funny thing about stopping is that as soon as you do it, here you are.

My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.

As many as the shells that are on the shore, so many are the pains of love; the darts that wound are steeped in much poison.

If one thinks only of winning, a sordid victory will be worse than a defeat. For the most part, it becomes a squalid defeat.
