Not much to know about me. An university student with not enough time, but a passion for writing. I seem to collect quotes, poems and sayings. Below are some of my favourites:
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind and therefore is winged cupid painted blind." William Shakespeare
The tree that never had to fight For the sun and sky and air and light But stood out in the open rain And always got its share and rain, Never became a forest king But lived and dies a scrubby thing… Good timber does not grown with ease The stronger wind the stronger tree. Douglas Malloch
You can’t make footsteps in the sands of time by sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time? Bob Moawad
Lives of great men all remind we can make our lives sublime And departing leave behind us footprints in the sands of time. Longfellow
"People were stupid, sometimes. They thought the Library was a dangerous place because of all the magical books, which was true enough, but what made it really one of the most dangerous places there could ever be was the simple fact that it was a library. " Terry Pratchett, "Guards! Guards!"
Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought. Sir Arthur Helps
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939), Impressions and Comments (1914)
"Heard melodies are Sweet but those unheard are sweeter" John Keats
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leafs a flower,
but only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay
