Quote by Oscar Wilde

Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you, and next spring I will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away. The ruby shall be redder than a red rose, and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.

Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you,

Summary

In this quote, the speaker signifies a farewell, expressing their gratitude towards someone (referred to as a prince) and promising to repay their kindness. The use of metaphors enhances the sentiment; the speaker plans to bring back two beautiful jewels, representing valuable gifts, to effectively convey their appreciation. The vivid descriptions of the jewels highlight their allure: a ruby redder than a red rose symbolizes intense beauty, while a sapphire bluer than the great sea evokes a sense of vastness and depth. The quote demonstrates the speaker's intention to reciprocate kindness with something equally precious.

Looking through the telescope, one saw a circle of deep blue and the little round planet swimming in the field. It seemed such a little thing, so bright and small and still, faintly marked with transverse stripes, and slightly flattened from the perfect round. But so little it was, so silvery warm

If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to quest

If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
