Voltaire Sonnier

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay, A Few Figs from Thistles

“The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning, but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it until this moment. Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel.”
― Bruce Lee

“I am a creature of dreams as well as of reason.”
― Isaac Asimov, Robots and Empire

“We did everything adults would do. What went wrong?”
― William Golding, Lord of the Flies
