Beauty is startling. She wears a gold shawl in the summer and sells seven kinds of honey at the flea market. She is young and old at once, my daughter and my grandmother. In school she excelled in mathematics and poetry. . . Beauty will dance with anyone who is brave enough to ask her.

J. Ruth Gendler

My love is as a fever, longing stillFor that which longer nurseth the disease;Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,The uncertain sickly appetite to please.My reason, the physician to my love,Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,Hath left me, and I desperate now approve,Desire his death, which physic did except.Past cure I am, now reason is past care,And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are,At random from the truth vainly express'd;For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

William Shakespeare

To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

C. Wright Mills

To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

Henry David Thoreau

My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.

Samuel Rutherford

Friendly counsel cuts off many foes
