“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

“Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.”
