“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,

But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
― Robert Frost

I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.”
― Thomas Babington Macaulay

“No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

“Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you.”
