“How are we fallen! fallen by mistaken rules,
And Education's more than Nature's fools;
Debarred from all improvements of the mind,
And to be dull, expected and designed;
And if someone would soar above the rest,
With warmer fancy, and ambition pressed,
So strong the opposing faction still appears,
The hopes to thrive can ne'er outweigh the fears.”
― Lady Winchilsea

“I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop.”

“It's amazing how a little tomorrow can make up for a whole lot of yesterday.”
