Philip Larkin
“If grief could burn out
Like a sunken coal,
The heart would rest quiet,
The unrent soul
Be still as a veil;
But I have watched all night

The fire grow silent,
The grey ash soft:
And I stir the stubborn flint
The flames have left,
And grief stirs, and the deft
Heart lies impotent.”
Philip Larkin, The North Ship

Paul A.M. Dirac
“Living is worthwhile if one can contribute in some small way to this endless chain of progress.”
Paul A.M. Dirac

“I am dying. Every day, with every breath I draw, I am closer to the end of my life. For we are born with a finite number of breaths, and each one I take edges the sunlight that is my life toward the inevitable dusk.”
R.A. Salvatore

Bertrand Russell
“Education is not to be viewed as something like filling a vessel with water but, rather, assisting a flower to grow in its own way”
Bertrand Russell
