"I cast my heart into my rhymes,That..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“For he would be thinking of love Till the stars had run away And the shadows eaten the moon.”

“Our own acts are isolated and one act does not buy absolution for another.”

“What can be shown?What true love be?All could be known or shownIf Time were but gone.”

“And the poem, I think, is only your voice speaking.”

“Ay, Much is the force of heaven-bred poesy.”

“Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor.”

“Biography lends to death a new terror.”

“Art is how a culture records its life, how it poses questions for the next generation and how it will be remembered.”

“The only thing that can kill me is death, that's the only thing that can ever stop me, is death, and even then my music will live forever.”
