“I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.”

“Trees”

“UNLESS someone like you

cares a whole awful lot,

nothing is going to get better.

It’s not.”

The Lorax

“The people upstairs all practise ballet

Their living room is a bowling alley

Their bedroom is full of conducted tours.

Their radio is louder than yours,

They celebrate week-ends all the week.

When they take a shower, your ceilings leak.

They try to get their parties to mix

By supplying their guests with Pogo sticks,

And when their fun at last abates,

They go to the bathroom on roller skates.

I might love the people upstairs more

If only they lived on another floor.”

“The People Upstairs”

“When I was One,

I had just begun.

When I was Two,

I was nearly new.

When I was Three

I was hardly me.

When I was Four,

I was not much more.

When I was Five,

I was just alive.

But now I am Six,

I'm as clever as clever,

So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.”

“Now We Are Six”

“This above all: to thine own self be true

And it must follow, as the night the day

Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Hamlet

“Where there is equality there can be sanity.”

Nineteen Eighty-Four

“I would not have you descend into your own dream. I would have you be a conscious citizen of this terrible and beautiful world.”

Between the World and Me

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”

The Brothers Karamazov

“I like good strong words that mean something.”

Little Women

“Perhaps to lose a sense of where you are implies the danger of losing a sense of who you are.”
