Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted.
Percy Bysshe ShelleyWhat is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them. We are born, and our birth is unremembered and our infancy remembered but in fragments. We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life. How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being. Rightly used they may make evident our ignorance of ourselves, and this is much.
Percy Bysshe ShelleyLove is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry.
Percy Bysshe ShelleyIn a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.
