Quotes
to his coy mistress, andrew marvell

Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me.

“Your mother was born in December,
on the one sunny day that winter gave up.
She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies,
when she stared at the world.”
ulysses, alfred lord tennyson
… Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world…
for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
