Mark Twain
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
“God created war so that Americans would learn geography.”
Mark Twain

W.H. Auden
“You owe it to all of us to get on with what you're good at.”
W.H. Auden

Walt Whitman
“Song of Myself
I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the
beginning and the end,
But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.

There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now,
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.”
Walt Whitman

W.H. Auden
“...Time that is intolerant
Of the brave and the innocent,
And indifferent in a week
To a beautiful physique,

Worships language and forgives
Everyone by whom it lives;
Pardons cowardice, conceit,
Lays its honours at their feet. ...”
W.H. Auden
