Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare. Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace, And lay them prone upon the earth and cease To ponder on themselves, the while they stare At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere.

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

I drank at every vine, the last was like the first. I came upon no wine so wonderful as thirst.

To be grown up is to sit at the table with people who have died, who neither listen nor speak.

After the feet of beauty fly my own.

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.

Marriage...one of the most civilized institutions in the world...But...swimming is one of the most wonderful of sports, and yet there are always some people who cannot swim who insist on going into the water and getting drowned. Many people spoil marriage in a like manner. One should be sure she knows how to be married before rushing into it.
