Edna St. Vincent Millay

Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, but climb.

I love humanity, but I hate people.

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.

Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.

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.
