  • When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
    And nodding by the fire, take down this book
    And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
    Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.

  • Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.

  • Those that I fight I do not hate,
    Those that I guard I do not love.

  • Accursed who brings to light of day
    The writings I have cast away.

  • I think you can leave the arts, superior or inferior, to the conscience of mankind.

  • I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.

  • Evil comes to us men of the imagination wearing as its mask all the virtues. I have certainly known more men destroyed by the desire to have a wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.
