Love's Labor's Lost, III, i
HOLOFERNES: This is a gift that I have, simple, simple; a foolish extravagant spirit, full of forms, figures, shapes, objects, ideas, apprehensions, motions, revolutions: these are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion.
-W. Shakespeare
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
-William Butler Yeats
We create because we are compelled.
We choose our subjects because they fascinate us.
We share because we don't want to feel alone.
- L.F. Miller
Silencio es más que estar callado… / Silence is more than be quiet...
Yo no sé si Dios existe, pero si existe, sé que no le va a molestar mi duda.
-M. Benedetti (1920-2009)
William Somerset: Ernest Hemingway once wrote that the Earth is a fine place and is worth fighting for. I agree with the second part.
“Ich habe noch nie solchen lowen gesehen die solche lamer gefuhrt werden.”
“I am never afraid of an army of Lions led into battle by a Lamb. I fear more the army of Lambs who have a Lion to lead them.”
-from the Battle of the Somme
“Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
