View quotes by Simone Weil

Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us; like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.
View quotes by George Bancroft

He who binds himself to joy doth the winged life destroy but he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in eternity's sunrise

Yet saw he something in the lives
Of those who ceased to live
That rounded them with majesty,
Which living failed to give [The Casterbridge Captains]

How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads. To whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams [erm quite indeed]

On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remeber'd for a very long time.
