Hesitation of any kind is a sign of mental decay in the young, of physical weakness in the old.
Oscar WildeThe burden of this world is too great for one man to bear, and the worldโs sorrow too heavy for one heart to suffer.
Oscar WildeIn his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded....He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.
