"When two close kindred meet What better..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“The true poet is all the time a visionary and whether with friends or not, as much alone as a man on his death bed.”

“He only can create the greatest imaginable beauty who has endured all imaginable pangs, for only when we have seen and foreseen what we dread shall we be rewarded by that dazzling unforeseen wing-footed wanderer.”

“For what but eye and ear silence the mindWith the minute particulars of mankind?”

“Beneath the makeup & behind the smile I'm just the girl who wishes for the world. A wise girl kisses, but doesn't love. Listens but dosen't believe. And leaves before she is left. If you can make a girl laugh - you can make her do anything. It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.”

“If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up--lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well.”

“Knit your hearts with an unslipping knot.”

“I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.”

“If one could run without getting tired I don't think one would often want to do anything else.”

“Our hope is that the elementary reading of comics will lead to the joy of reading good books.”
