"And you read your emily dickinson, And..." - Quote by Paul Simon

“So I'll continue to continue to pretend my life will never end, and flowers never bend with the rainfall.”

“The course of a lifetime runs/over and over again”

“The risk of failure is part of the fun of what I do.”

“The drought was the very worst when the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst.”

“You may my Glories and my State depose, But not my Griefes; still am I King of those.”

“Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.”

“Without those forerunners, Jane Austen and the Brontes and George Eliot could no more have written than Shakespeare could have written without Marlowe, or Marlowe without Chaucer, or Chaucer without those forgotten poets who paved the ways and tamed the natural savagery of the tongue. For masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.”

“These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad; they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.”

“Shakespearean fish swam the sea, far away from land;Romantic fish swam in nets coming to the hand.”
