A thought often makes us hotter than a fire.

Softly the evening came /with the sunset/.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

Into each life some rain must fall.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea

It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.

Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.

At this moment, I have nothing to do or ponder except love and wonder.

So everything lets us down, including curiosity and honesty and what we love best. Yes, said the voice, but cheer up, it's fun in the end.

The Paris Commune was first and foremost a democracy. The government was a body elected by universal suffrage.

Don't do this. I love you. Don't shut me out.

If you're going to make a mistake, make it loud so everybody else sounds wrong.

Be intentional about your life and what you want to accomplish, but understand there's no choice you make that you can't change.

I do get a bit of a sense, just from e-mails some people send me, just a little sense of how people in different countries seem to respond differently to certain lines in a song.

Don't forget love; it will bring you all the madness you need to unfurl yourself across the universe.

Sleep is perverse as human nature, Sleep is perverse as a legislature, Sleep is as forward as hives or goiters, And where it is least desired, it loiters.

Leaves and bark, leaves and bark, To lean against and hear in the dark. Petals I may have once pursued. Leaves are all my darker mood.
