“Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.

So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.”

“To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”
