“ROMEO There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murders in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell. I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none. Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh. Come, cordial and not poison, go with me To Juliet's grave; for there must I use thee.”

“Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, Should without eyes see pathways to his will!”

“The dreams of childhood - it's airy fables, its graceful, beautiful, humane, impossible adornments of the world beyond; so good to be believed in once, so good to be remembered when outgrown.”

“I must have been an insufferable child; all children are.”

“Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbors.”

“Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.”

“History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.”

“True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.”
