There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.
Let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter.

No one can hurry me down to Hades before my time, but if a man's hour is come, be he brave or be he coward, there is no escape for him when he has once been born.

....down from his brow
she ran his curls
like thick hyacinth clusters
full of blooms...

For a friend with an understanding heart is worth no less than a brother

Beauty! Terrible Beauty!
A deathless Goddess-- so she strikes our eyes!

There is the heat of Love, the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover’s whisper, irresistible—magic to make the sanest man go mad.

Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Why cover the same ground again? ... It goes against my grain to repeat a tale told once, and told so clearly.

Scepticism is as much the result of knowledge, as knowledge is of scepticism.

Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

Even were sleep is concerned, too much is a bad thing.

A decent boldness ever meets with friends.
