The most charming young man in the world is instantly before the imagination of us all. Jane Austen
What will die with me the day I die? What pathetic or frail image will be lost to the world? The voice of Macedonio Fernandez, the image of a bay horse in a vacant lot on the corner of Sarrano and Charcas, a bar of sulfur in the drawer of a mahogany desk? Jorge Luis Borges
People with a grudge against the world are always dangerous. They seem to think life owes them something.

There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step. The locust-trees were in bloom, and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air.
