Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

When I tell the truth, 

it is not for the sake of convincing 

those who do not know it, 

but for the sake of defending 

those that do.

The eye altering, 

alters all.

Always be ready to speak your mind, 

and a base man will avoid you.

What is now proved was once only imagined.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy 

is in the eyes of others 

only a green thing that stands in the way. 

Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... 

and some scarce see nature at all. 

But to the eyes of the man of imagination, 

nature is imagination itself.

Imagination is the real and eternal world 

of which this vegetable universe 

is but a faint shadow.

I must create a system 

or be enslaved by another man's; 

I will not reason and compare: 

my business is to create.

A fool sees not the same tree 

that a wise man sees.

If the doors of perception were cleansed 

everything would appear to man as it is, 

infinite.
