“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.”

“Kubla Khan: or A Vision in a Dream”

“Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.”

“The Second Coming”

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep…”

Hamlet

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”

The Hobbit

“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.”

Rebecca

“She had waited all her life for something, and it had killed her when it found her.”

Their Eyes Were Watching God

“It is nothing to die; it is dreadful not to live.”

Les Misérables

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”

Little Women

“The past is never dead. In fact, it’s not even past.”

Requiem for a Nun

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
