Margaret Young

The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Fair flower, that dost so comely grow, Hid in this silent, dull retreat,Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,Unseen thy little branches greet;...No roving foot shall crush thee here,...No busy hand provoke a tear.By Nature's self in white arrayed,She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,And planted here the gaurdian shade,And sent soft waters murmuring by;...Thus quietly thy summer goes,...Thy days declinging to repose.Smit with those charms, that must decay,I grieve to see your future doom;They died--nor were those flowers more gay,The flowers that did in Eden bloom;...Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power...Shall leave no vestige of this flower.From morning suns and evenign dewsAt first thy little being came:If nothing once, you nothing lose,For when you die you are the same;...The space between, is but an hour,...The frail duration of a flower.

Philip Freneau, The Wild HoneySu

Cesare Pavese

Angelina Grimke

There is a destiny which makes us brothers none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.

Edwin Markham

Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.

W. C. Fields

Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

Mae West

We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history.
