the Mind of Man-- My haunt, and the main region of my song.

Then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils.

one daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, then one is too few.

Come grow old with me. The best is yet to be.

That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

How many undervalue the power of simplicity ! But it is the real key to the heart.

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils Beside the lake beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

Strongest minds are often those whom the noisy world hears least.

The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.

Joy is not the absence of darkness. Joy is confidence that the darkness will lift.

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and nights.

People souls - perennial loners. They're loners like stray stars.

One's life, from being an exterior thing, grows inwards. Its intensity stays the same; and, d'you know, it's most mysterious, the corners in which the joy of living can sometimes hide away.

It is love which made all this. War which protects it. With love comes responsibility and possibility, fear and hopes, quests and suffering.

The outside of any building may now come inside and the inside go outside, each seems as part of the other. Continuity, plasticity, and all the new simplicity the imply have at last come home.

You walk out in the street, we don't know if we're going to get across. It's a test.

I don't throw my body down on the stage at all anymore because I'm sure I'd snap like a twig.

Marxism is what has seduced American liberals - well, liberals worldwide, communists, all leftists.

Theater really gets damaged when there is a paucity of good criticism around.
