“When I have struggled through three hundred years
of Roman history, and hastened o'er
Some French play-(though I have my private fears
Of flunking sorely when I take the floor
In class),-when I have steeped my soul in gore
And Greek, and figured over half a ream
With Algebra, which I do (not) adore,
How shall I manage to compose a theme?”
“Ballad of the Scholar's Lament”
“I stood tip-toe upon a little hill,
The air was cooling, and so very still,
That the sweet buds which with a modest pride
Pull droopingly, in slanting curve aside,
Their scantly leaved, and finely tapering stems,
Had not yet lost those starry diadems
Caught from the early sobbing of the morn.”
“I Stood Tip-Toe Upon a Little Hill”
“My fellow man I do not care for.
I often ask me, What's he there for?
The only answer I can find
Is, Reproduction of his kind.
If I'm supposed to swallow that,
Winnetka is my habitat.
Isn't it time to carve Hic Jacet
Above that Reproduction racket?”
“À Bas Ben Adhem”
“Chicks with bricks come.
Chicks with blocks come.
Chicks with bricks and
Blocks and clocks come.
Look sir. Look sir.
Mr. Knox, sir.
Let’s do tricks with
bricks and blocks, sir.
Let’s do tricks with
chicks and clocks, sir.”
Fox in Socks
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”
Fight Club
“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”
Moby-Dick
“One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again.”
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
“I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”
A Man Without a Country
“Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.”
Autobiography of a Yogi (Self-Realization Fellowship)
“I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too.”
