"I heard the old, old, men say..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“Words alone are certain good.”

“For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”

“We are no petty people. We are one of the great stocks of Burke; we are the people of Swift, the people of Emmet, the people of Parnell. We have created most of the modern literature of this country. We have created the best of its political intelligence.”

“Enjoy life. This is not a dress rehearsal.”

“Not one is constant, but everything is changing.”

“All objective pleasure in the long run must bring pain, because of the fact of change or death.”

“Beauty through my senses stole;I yielded myself to the perfect whole.”

“The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.”

“Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?”
