Art is a monument of unaging intellect!!!: Tears

Falling as crystallized pearls

Pearls of antique woe

With unique hope

Holding the pain of soul,

As a Medicine for Solitude

From the two bliss of life!

'Quotable Quotes'

“Face the brutes.” That is a lesson for all life—face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them. - Vivekananda

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. -Ashley Smith

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.-Confucius

We don't read and write poetry because it is cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering - these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are what we stay alive for. - From the film "Dead Poets Society"

Only very weak-minded people refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry - Cassandra Clare

I love Shakespeare!

Remarkable quotes of him:

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.- Hamlet

The man that hath no music in himself,

Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.-Lorenzo

As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,
They kill us for their sport.

Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.-Duke Senior

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.-Hamlet

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.-Polonius

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how
infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and
admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like
a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet,
to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—
nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.-Hamlet

There is special providence in
the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to
come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the
readiness is all.-Hamlet

for there is nothing either good or
bad, but thinking makes it so.-Hamlet

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.-Polonius

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.-Macbeth
