“Escape me? Never, beloved! While I am I, and you are you.”

Open my heart, and you will see Graved inside of it ‘Italy.’

Measure your mind’s height by the shade it casts.

Lose who may-I still can say, Those who win heaven, blest are they!

I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.

So, fall asleep love, loved by me for I know love, I am loved by thee.

If all the world is a stage and life is just a play upon it, get me two seats in the stalls.

What a thing friendship is – World without end.

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure.

I count life just a stuff To try the soul’s strength on.

But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again.

Art remains the one way possible of speaking truth.

Night conceals a world but reveals a universe.

Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain.

Most progress is most failure.

Such ever was love’s way: to rise, it stoops.

Good to forgive, Best to forget.

We cannot escape the clear fact that what is going to win in this world is reason, if this ever becomes a reasonable world.

He who lives upon the fruit of his own labor, escapes the contempt of haughty benefactors.

However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.

All art is propaganda. It is universally and inescabably propaganda; sometimes unconsciously, but often deliberately, propaganda.

We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.

There is no power or authority without responsibility, and he who accepts the one cannot escape or evade the other.

A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say.
