“Though absent long,
These forms of beauty have not been to me,
As is a landscape to a blind man's eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart, And passing even into my purer mind
With tranquil restoration”
― William Wordsworth

“I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.”
― Michelle K.

“SIR PHILIP
I would recommend this gentleman to her for ahusband, sir - a person whom I have picked out from the whole race of mankind.
OBADIAH PRIM.
I would advise thee to shuffle him again with the rest of mankind, for I like him not.”
― Susanna Centlivre, A Bold Stroke for a Wife

“FIRST MERCHANT. We cannot take your soul, for it is hers.
ALEEL. No, but you must. Seeing it cannot help her I have grown tired of it.
FIRST MERCHANT. Begone from me I may not touch it.
ALEEL. Is your power so small? And must I bear it with me all my days? May you be scorned and mocked!”
― William Butler Yeats
