"Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes... then you can judge him all you want because you're a mile away AND you have his shoes."

"No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrancy of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language."
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, because they drink at streams which we have not yet made accessible to science."
~ Sigmund Freud
"Death is not the worst that can happen to men."
~ Plato
"What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others."
~ Confucious
"If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them."
~ George Orwell
"Nothing in the world makes people so afraid as the influence of independent-minded people."
~ Albert Einstein
"I feel that we read to learn new things, sure, absolutely, but more often than not, what we really get out of the good books we read is self- recognition. We read and discover stuff about life that we already knew, except that we didn't know we knew it until we read it in a particular book. And this self-recognition, this discovering ourselves in the writings of others can be very exciting, can make us feel a little less isolated inside our own thing and a little more connected to the larger world."
~ Richard Price
"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
~ Albert Einstein
"Half the world is composed of those who have something to say but can't; the other half is of those who have nothing to say and keep on saying it."
~ Muriel Strode

Hides behind her quiet ways. -
Along uncertain ways and valleys
In through existential highways
