"Through the sunset of hope, Like the shapes of a dream, What paradise islands of glory gleam!"
"When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get even."
"Life may change, but it may fly not; Hope may vanish, but can die not; Truth be veiled, but still it burneth; Love repulsed, - but it returneth!"
"Love withers under constraints: its very essence is liberty: it is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy, nor fear."
"Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought."
