E E Cummings

Life's not a paragraph And death i think is no parenthesis

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten-thousand stars how not to dance...

A politician is an arse upon which everybody has sat except a man

Every answer asks a more beautiful question

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.

To destroy is always the first step in any creation.

I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

The only man, woman, or child who ever wrote a simple declarative sentence with seven grammatical errors is dead.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

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

Listen; there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.
