But climb on your tears and be silent 
Like a rose on its ladder of thorns 
... 
Then lay your rose on the fire 
The fire give up to the sun

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: 
It makes what is excellent in others 
belong to us as well.

I hold that the mark of a genuine idea 
is that its possibility can be proved, 
either a priori 
by conceiving its cause or reason, 
or a posteriori 
when experience teaches us 
that it is in fact in nature.

Intellect distinguishes between the possible and the impossible; 
reason distinguishes between the sensible and the senseless. 
Even the possible can be senseless.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, 
the philosophy which does not laugh 
and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: 
it takes its origin from emotion 
recollected in tranquility.

Humans are nervous, touchy creatures 
and can be easily offended. 
Many are deeply insecure. 
They become focused and energised by taking offence; 
it makes them feel meaningful and alive.
