    William Shakespeare
    “If music be the food of love, play on;
    Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
    The appetite may sicken, and so die.
    That strain again! it had a dying fall:
    O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
    That breathes upon a bank of violets,
    Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
    'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
    O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
    That, notwithstanding thy capacity
    Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
    Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
    But falls into abatement and low price,
    Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
    That it alone is high fantastical.”
    William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”

    “The ignorant learn from none,
    the simple learn from some,
    the intelligent learn from many,
    but enlightened learn from all.

    The arrogant learn from none,
    the gracious learn from some,
    the patient learn from many,
    but the humble learn from all.

    The disinterested learn from none,
    the curious learn from some,
    the keen learn from many,
    but the disciplined learn from all.”
    Matshona Dhliwayo

    Charles Bukowski
    “My Dear,
    Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it's much better to be killed by a lover.
    -Falsely yours”
    Charles Bukowski
