Life on Earth is quite a bargain. Dreams$$$ for one$$$ dont charge admission. Illusions are costly only when lost.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life$$$ your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

I am who I am. A coincidence no less unthinkable than any other. I could have had different ancestors$$$ after all. I could have fluttered from another nest or crawled bescaled from under another tree. Nature's wardrobe holds a fair supply of costumes: spider$$$ seagull$$$ field mouse. Each fits perfectly right off and is dutifully worn into shreds.

To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it.

For till the thunder and trumpet be$$$<br/>Soul may divide from body$$$ but not we<br/>One from another.

Then star nor sun shall waken$$$<br/>Nor any change of light:<br/>Nor sound of waters shaken$$$<br/>Nor any sound or sight:<br/>Nor wintry leaves nor vernal;<br/>Nor days nor things diurnal;<br/>Only the sleep eternal<br/>In an eternal night.

Sometimes the person you'd take a bullet for is the person behind the trigger.

Don't worry. You may think you'll never get over it. But you also thought it would last forever.

Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit$$$ because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure.

But as long as you have some fixed idea or are caught by some habitual way of doing things$$$ you cannot appreciate things in their true sense.
