Does anyone know any really good quotes?
-
I'm really into discovering new quotes, and I was wondering if anyone had some that they have either read somewhere...or ones that they've personally thought up. Any kind of quote is much appreciated!! =]

Answer:
''we shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time'' Four Quartets (Burnt Norton) TS Eliot ''when you stop believing in God you don't believe in nothing, you believe in anything'' GK Chesterton ''we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars'' Oscar Wilde (Lady Windermere's fan) ''the mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n'' -Paradise lost (Milton) ''Now was the hour that wakens fond desire In men at sea, and melts their thoughtful heart, Who in the morn have bid sweet friends farewell, And pilgrim newly on his road with love Thrills, if he hear the vesper bell from far, That seems to mourn for the expiring day: When I, no longer taking heed to hear Began, with wonder, from those spirits to mark One risen from its seat, which with its hand Audience implor'd. Both palms it join'd and rais'd, Fixing its steadfast gaze towards the east, As telling God, "I care for naught beside." The divine comedy (Purgatorio) Dante ''the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'' -Edmund Burke ''that nature left this tincture in the blood, that all men would be tyrants if they could'' Defore (the Kentish petition) ''This is the way the world ends this is the way the world ends this is the way the world ends not with a bang but a whimper'' TS Eliot (the hollow men) Quotes from Shakespeare are too numerous to even start on. These should be good to begin with.

I love you because you Are helping me to make Of the lumber of my life Not a tavern But a temple; Out of the works Of my every day Not a reproach But a song.
