"Once out of nature I shall never..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“I spit into the face of time that has transfigured me”

“on the instant clamorous eaves,A climbing moon upon an empty sky,And all that lamentation of the leaves,Could but compose man's image and his cry.”

“Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart. O when may it suffice?”

“Music, in the best sense, does not require novelty; nay, the older it is, and the more we are accustomed to it, the greater its effect.”

“In scientific thinking are always present elements of poetry. Science and music requires a thought homogeneous.”

“In art, at a certain level, there is no 'better than.' It's just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it. Trusting that, just because of the way people are built and how interconnected we are, greatness will translate and symmetry will be recognised.”

“I had longed to be a butterfly, and I was one at last. I attended private parties in sumptuous evening dress, simpered and aired my graces like a born beau, and polkaed and schoisched with a step peculiar to myself - and the kangaroo.”

“There are two kinds of pain: the pain of change and the pain of never changing and remaining the same.”

“The familiar life horizon has been outgrown: the old concepts, ideals, and emotional patterns no longer fit; the time for the passing of a threshold is at hand.”
