Derek Walcott
“The classics can console. But not enough.”
Derek Walcott, Sea Grapes

“Friendship often ends in love. But love in friendship; never.”
Charles Caleb Colton

W. Somerset Maugham
“The man I am writing about is not famous. It may be that he never will be. It may be that when his life at last comes to an end he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves on the surface of the water. But it may be that the way of life that he has chosen for himself and the peculiar strength and sweetness of his character may have an ever-growing influence over his fellow men so that, long after his death perhaps, it may be realized that there lived in this age a very remarkable creature.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge

Ovid
“As wave is driven by wave
And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead,
So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows,
Always, for ever and new. What was before
Is left behind; what never was is now;
And every passing moment is renewed.”
Ovid, Metamorphoses

Jim Henson
“There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.”
Jim Henson, Favorite Songs From Jim Henson's Muppets
