Keelhaul the poets in the vestry chairs.

Karl Shapiro Poet

Poetry is not a way of saying things; it's a way of seeing things.

Karl Shapiro Poet

Already old, the question Who shall die? Becomes unspoken Who is innocent?

Karl Shapiro Poet

Self-knowledge is a dangerous thing, tending to make man shallow or insane.

Karl Shapiro Poet

Important thing is not the me that's lying here, but the me that's sitting on the edge of the bed looking back at me, and the me that's downstairs cooking supper, or out in the garage under the car, or in the library reading. All the new parts, they count. I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family.

Ray Bradbury Writer

A man who values a good night's rest will not lie down with enmity in his heart, if he can help it.

Laurence Sterne Novelist

Sometimes you have to lie. But to yourself you must always tell the truth.

Louise Fitzhugh Author

Think of your career as your ministry. Make your work an expression of love, in service to mankind. Within the worldly illusion, we all have different jobs. Some of us are artists, some of us are business people, some of us are scientists. But in the real world that lies beyond all this, we all have the same job: to minister to human hearts.

Marianne Williamson Author

Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.

Friedrich Nietzsche Philologist

And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie, That kings for such a tomb would wish to die.

John Milton Poet
