Image
I do not see why I should e’er turn back, Or those should not set forth upon my track To overtake me, who should miss me here And long to know if still I held them dear. They would not find me changed from him they knew — Only more sure of all I thought was true.

A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
Robert Frost
Image
Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.

The best way out is always through.

There are tones of voices that mean more than words.

Not yesterday I learned to know The love of bare November days Before the coming of the snow.
Robert Frost

Let cloud shapes swarm, / Let chaos storm, / I wait for form.

Word I was in my life alone, / Word I had no one left but God.

Our life runs down in sending up the clock. The brook runs down in sending up our life. The sun runs down in sending up the brook. And there is something sending up the sun.

Everyone asks for freedom for himself, The man free love, the businessman free trade, The writer and talker free speech and free press.
