Victor Hugo


Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars-all the beauties of creation.

Herbert Henry Asquith


Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.

Geoff Arbuthnot


Arrogant and right is surely better than humble and wrong.

Jane Harrison


Old age equalizes- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.

Sigmund Freud


Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.
