You will find that you survive humiliation. And that's an experience of incalculable value.

Turn things you've always wanted to do, into things you've done

Stand on the highest pavement of the stair- Lean on a garden urn- Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair.

Humility is the most difficult of all virtues to achieve; nothing dies harder than the desire to think well of self.

Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherised upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats 5 Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question … 10 Oh, do not ask, “What is it?” Let us go and make our visit. In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo.

Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other Who think the same thoughts without need of speech

What is true, is true only for one time and only for one place.
