The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.
The Simple Life is not a simple life.
The ravaged face in the mirror hides the enchanting youth that is the real me.
In the great cities, winter glitters with art and feasting. But poetry, the country cousin, sees only the dearth of the fields.
Bravery despite defeat is praiseworthy. Victory despite cowardice is beyond praise.
City wits, country humorists.
