"What power is it which mounts my..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Fair ladies, masked, are roses in their bud;Dismasked, the damask sweet commixture shown,Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.”

“But that the dread of something after death,The undiscover'd country from whose bournNo traveller returns, puzzles the willAnd makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?”

“Had I no eyes but ears, my ears would love. That inward beauty and invisible; Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move each part in me that were but sensible: Though neither eyes nor ears, to hear nor see, yet should I be in love by touching thee. 'Say, that the sense of feeling were bereft me, and that I could not see, nor hear, nor touch, and nothing but the very smell were left me, yet would my love to thee be still as much; for from the stillitory of thy face excelling comes breath perfum'd that breedeth love by smelling.”

“The realization that we are all basically the same human beings who seek happiness and try to avoid suffering is very helpful in developing a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood; a warm feeling of love and compassion for others.”

“Many lovers have been divorcedBy having what is free enforced.”

“We are here to love each other.That is why you are alive.That is what life is for.”

“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”

“If you did not do so for the sake of riches,You must have done so for the sake of novelty.”

“Purpose is a desire for something in our own power, coupled with an investigation into its means.”
