Quotes

We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times.

- Friedrich Nietzsche

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower:
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

- William Blake, "Auguries of Innocence"

The world, to-day, clamors for deeds, not creeds; for bread, not dogma; for charity, not ceremony; for love, not intellect.

- Ignatius Donnelly

The great mystery is not that we should have been thrown down here at random between the profusion of matter and that of the stars; it is that from our very prison we should draw, from our own selves, images powerful enough to deny our own nothingness.

- André Malraux

We lay on our backs, looking at the ceiling and wondering what God had wrought when He made life so sad.

- Jack Kerouac, "On The Road"

Well--
all things turn bitter in the end
whether you choose the right or
the left way
and--
dreams are not a bad thing.

- William Carlos Williams, "Libertad! Igualdad! Fraternidad!"

You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

- Charles Bukowski

...unsettled, severing always severing dead ties,
one last good-bye may last the rest of your life,
one way trip can work both ways
and loose ends kept untied make better friends,
the things you buy may someday leave you...

- Jimmy Eat World, "Claire"

You're no scarlet prim proper rose
Sing me your pretty prose
Lips pressed nose to nose
Legs entwined with twenty toes.
