W. H. Auden Quotes

The windiest militant trash. Important Persons shout. Is not so crude as our wish: What mad Nijinsky wrote About Diaghilev. Is true of the normal heart; For the error bred in the bone. Of each woman and each man. Craves what it cannot have; Not universal love. But to be loved alone.

W. H. Auden
