"If we couldn't laugh we would all..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“Earth's the right place for love. I don't know where it's likely to go better.”

“Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.”

“Our life runs down in sending up the clock.The brook runs down in sending up our life.The sun runs down in sending up the brook.And there is something sending up the sun.”

“Nonsense, seems to sum up everything.”

“I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.”

“This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt.”

“In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.”

“You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one.”

“Of all mankind the great poet is the equable man. Not in him but off from him things are grotesque or eccentric or fail of their sanity.”
