"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), English dramatist, poet and actor:
"As You Like It", Sc. II, act vii.
“A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanging; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“We can burst the bonds which chain us,
Which cold human hands have wrought,
And where none shall dare restarin us
We can meet again, in thought.”
Charlotte Bronté

“Each portion of matter may be conceived as a garden full of plants, and as a pond full of fish. But every branch of each plant, every member of each animal, and every drop of their liquid parts is itself likewise a similar garden or pond.”
Leibniz, Monadology, 67, Ibid., p. 190.
“To be a poet and not know the trade,
To be a lover and repel all women,
Twin ironies by which great saints are made,
The agonising pincer jaws of heaven.”
Patrick Kavanagh.
“How could our finite minds comprehend an infinite universe?”
Stephen Hawking, The Universe in a Nutshell.
“Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.”
Byron.
”But words are things,
and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew,
upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands,
perhaps millions, think.”
Byron.
“I had a dream which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars
Did wander darkling in eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air…”
Byron.
