“I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.”
“Be not afraid of greatness.”
“To me, fair friend, you never can be old,For as you were when first your eye I eyed,Such seems your beauty still. Three winters coldHave from the forests shook three summers' pride,Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'dIn process of the seasons have I seen,Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.”

“Words are so awesome. Words are containers for power. They carry either creative power or destructive power.”
“But O, sick children of the world,Of all the many changing thingsIn dreary dancing past us whirled,To the cracked tune that Chronos sings,Words alone are certain good.”
“When I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me I am in darkness—I am nothing.”
