“[...] there is a kind of joy In casting hope away, in losing joy, In ceasing all resistance, in at last Opening one's arms to the eternal flames.”
― William Butler Yeats

“We did not hesitate to call our movement an army. But it was a special army, with no supplies but its sincerity, no uniform but its determination, no arsenal except its faith, no currency but its conscience.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., Why We Can't Wait

“Traitor! (cried she,) as soon as she had read them, 'tis thus our silly, fond,
believing Sex are served when they put Faith in Man”
― Eliza Haywood, Fantomina: Or, Love in a Maze

“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
