No sooner had I stepp'd into these pleasures. Than I began to think of rhymes and measures: The air that floated by me seem'd to say'Write! thou wilt never have a better day. John Keats
I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements. Nelson Mandela
to let the light of the world flood back-to say this has not happened! But why turn one's head hither and thither? This is the truth. This is fact. Virginia Woolf
