He was there alone with himself, collected, tranquil, adoring, comparing the serenity of his heart with the serenity of the skies, moved in the darkness by the visible splendors of the constellations, and the invisible splendor of God, opening his soul to the thoughts which fall from the Unknown. In such moments, offering up his heart at the hour when the flowers of night inhale their perfume, lighted like a lamp in the center of the starry night, expanding his soul in ecstasy in the midst of the universal radiance of creation, he could not himself perhaps have told what was passing in his own mind; he felt something depart from him, and something descend upon him, mysterious interchanges of the depths of the soul with the depths of the universe.

Victor Hugo

People are much too solemn about things - I'm all for sticking pins into Episcopal behinds

Aldous Huxley

I think we will always have the impulse towards visual poetry with us, and I wouldn't agree with Bly that it's a bad thing. It depends on the ability of the individual poet to do it well, and to make a shape which is interesting enough to hold your attention.

James Laughlin

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Arthur Schopenhauer

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.

Carl Gustav Jung

Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.

Angus Young

If you are poor, shun association with him who measures men with the yardstick of riches.

Kahlil Gibran

I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander.

Isaac Asimov

Without mathematics, there's nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers.

Shakuntala Devi

In movies, there are some things the French do that Americans are increasingly incapable of doing. One is honoring the complexities of youth. It's a quiet, difficult undertaking, requiring subtlety in a filmmaker and perception and patience from us.

Wesley Morris

An angry father is most cruel toward himself.

Publilius Syrus

The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable, does the game develop.
