OH MAN. I love quotes.

you may have heard a few of these...sorry there are a bunch, I just adore these little clips and phrases.
all that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost...
- j.r.r. tolkien
there's music in the sighing of a reed;
there's music in the gushing of a rill;
there's music in all things, if men had ears:
their earth is but an echo of the spheres.
- lord byron
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.
- philo of alexandria
kisses are a better fate
than wisdom.
- e.e. cummings
indifference to the wonder of being is the root of all sin.
- abraham heschel
For I have learned
To look on nature, not as in the hour
Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes
The still, sad music of humanity,
Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power
To chasten and subdue. And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean, and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man,
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye and ear, both what they half-create,
And what perceive; well pleased to recognize
In nature and the language of the sense,
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
Of all my moral being.
- William Wordsworth, "Lines Written A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey," 89-112
how did it happen that their lips came together? how does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? a kiss, and all was said.
- victor hugo
finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
- philippians 4:8
if what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
Post nubila, Phoebus.
