a brush with death always helps us live our lives better

I have thought a sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.

Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle.

The world needs only a few geniuses; civilization is maintained and extended by those lesser souls who corral the men of greatness, tie them down with explanations and footnotes and annotated editions, explain what they meant when they didn't know themselves, show their true place in the awesome progression of mankind.

I have a theory that too much learning unbalances the mind.
