I will play the swan. And die in music. William Shakespeare
John Philip Sousa quote: "The vocal cord will be eliminated by a process of evolution,..."
The vocal cord will be eliminated by a process of evolution, as was the tail of man when he came from the ape. John Philip Sousa
Indeed, everybody wants to be a wow, But not everybody knows exactly how. Some people think they will eventually wear diamonds instead of rhinestones Only by everlastingly keeping their noses to their ghrinestones Ogden Nash
Jean Cocteau quote: "I am burning myself up and will always do so."
I am burning myself up and will always do so. Jean Cocteau
Knowledge exists, and good will exists; but both remain impotent until they possess the proper organs for making themselves heard. Bertrand Russell
Bliss—a-second-by-second joy and gratitude at the gift of being alive, conscious—lies on the other side of crushing, crushing boredom. Pay close attention to the most tedious thing you can find (Tax Returns, Televised Golf) and, in waves, a boredom like you’ve never known will wash over you and just about kill you. Ride these out, and it’s like stepping from black and white into color. Like water after days in the desert. Instant bliss in every atom. David Foster Wallace
The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream. Dante Alighieri
I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell. Donna Tartt
I wish that my childhood would have been different. I do not, however, regret what happened. This does not mean tht I would gladly go through it again. But mythologies of all times and all places tell us that those who enter the abyss and survive can bring back important lessons. I have no need to merely imagine the unimaginable. And I will no longer forget. I have learned that whether I choose to feel or not, pain exists, and whether we choose to acknowledge them or not, atrocities continue.... Derrick Jensen
Henry Clay quote: "I hope that it will yet be said, America is America's best..."
I hope that it will yet be said, America is America's best customer. Henry Clay
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained. Mahatma Gandhi
I give you the end of a golden string, Only wind it into a ball, It will lead you in at Heaven's gate. Built in Jerusalem's wall. William Blake
It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Don't turn around.'Cuz you will get punched in the face. Don't make this worse. You've already gone and got me mad. It's too bad, I'm not sad It's casting over. Just one of those things you'll have to get over it. Avril Lavigne
I know you have not thought about it. Italians always act without thinking, it's the glory and the downfall of your civilisation. A German plans a month in advance what his bowel movements will be at Easter, and the British plan everything in retrospect, so it always looks as though everything occurred as they intended. The French plan everything whilst appearing to be having a party, and the Spanish...well, God knows. Anyway, Pelagia is Greek, that's my point. Louis de Bernieres
