That time is past,
And all its aching joys are now no more,
And all its dizzy raptures. Not for this
Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur; other gifts
Have followed; for such a loss, I would
believe, abundant recompense.

BERNSTEIN
The only way to atone for being occasionally a little
under-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated.
Men represent the triumph of mind over morals.
I admit that I think it is better to be beautiful than to be
good. But on the other hand, no one is more ready than I
am to acknowledge that it is better to be good than to be
ugly.
O scar W ilde
A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are
volitional and are the portals of discovery.
-Dedalus
You can’t raise boys to be scared of life. You got to brew
some recklessness into them.
