Quotes of the Week - January 17, 2012:
"Our campaign is about more than replacing a President. It is about
saving the soul of America." -- Republican Mitt Romney, US presidential
hopeful, after winning New Hampshire primary.
"Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet. Try
to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe
exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always
something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just
give up." -- Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday.
"American children had never seen a moving bosom before."
-- Actress Celia Imrie on the alarm caused by her low-cut dress in Nanny
McPhee.

Affliction
is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
John Donne
Meditation XVII |
All
mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies,
one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into
a better language.
John Donne
Meditation XVII |
All
other things, to their destruction draw,
Only our love hath no decay;
This, no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday,
Running it never runs from us away,
But truly keep his first, last, everlasting day.
John Donne
The Anniversary |
All
whom war, dearth, age, arues, tyrannies
Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Holy Sonnets, VII |
And
new Philosophy calls all in doubt,
The element of fire is quite put out;
The Sun is lost, and th' earth, and no man's wit
Can well direct him where to look for it.
John Donne
An Anatomy of the World: The First Anniversary |
And
swear
No where
Lives a woman true, and fair.
John Donne
Song: Go and catch a falling star |
Any
man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind;
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it
tolls for thee.
John Donne
Meditation XVII |
As
states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being
known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery
and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine
all emergent differences there.
John Donne |
As
virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
The breath goes now, and some say no.
John Donne
A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning |
At
the round earth's imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go.
John Donne
