"All through the years of our youthNeither..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”

“Things thought too long can be no longer thought, For beauty dies of beauty, worth of worth, And ancient lineaments are blotted out.”

“John Synge, I and Augusta Gregory, thought All that we did, all that we said or sang Must come from contact with the soil, from that Contact everything Antaeus-like grew strong.”

“Our modern society - especially in the West, and especially now - reveres youth.”

“Generally young men are regarded as radicals. This is a popular misconception. The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates. The radicals are the men past middle life.”

“We are not going to dwell on those things that divide us. We are going to rejoice in those things that keep us together to make this a better country - to reach down and back to touch every young person in need!”

“From the evening breeze to this hand on my shoulder, everything has its truth.”

“Always embrace the common humanity that lies at the heart of us all.”

“Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real flesh and I myself am not a dream.”
