"It's certain that fine women eat A..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“Poet and sculptor, do the work, / Nor let the modish painter shirk”

“Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.All that was said in Ireland is a lieBreed out of the contagion of the throng,Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”

“What can be explained is not poetry.”

“No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree.”

“An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.”

“Men have better self-images than women. You know what I've never seen in a men's magazine? A makeover.”

“If you shamefully misuse a cat once she will always maintain a dignified reserve toward you afterward. You will never get her full confidence again.”

“Sometimes, when I was really loaded, I'd sit on the floor and sort out every nut and bolt in the house. It was just sheer insanity. And often there'd be speed in the cut, so I was a speed freak, too.”

“A vain man can never be altogether rude. Desirous as he is of pleasing, he fashions his manners after those of others.”
