"Now that my ladder's gone, I must..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“Everything we look upon is blest.”

“Never shall a young man, Thrown into despair By those great honey-coloured Ramparts at your ear, Love you for yourself alone And not your yellow hair.”

“Nor dread nor hope attend a dying animal; a man awaits his end dreading and hoping all.”

“In leaving Hollywood and coming to New York, I feel I can be more myself. After all, if I can't be myself, what's the good of being anything at all?”

“To study the meaning of man and of life — I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself. Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man.”

“Not knowing how he lost himself, or how he recovered himself, he may never feel certain of not losing himself again.”

“Our virtues and view spring from one root.”

“Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is ? a vice?”

“The accent of one's birthplace remains in the mind and in the heart as in one's speech.”
