Language
John Donne
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
All other things, to their destruction draw,
Batter my heart, three-personed God; for, you
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
Death be not proud, though some have called thee
License my roving hands, and let them go,
Benjamin Disraeli

The Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.

Emily Dickinson

Peter de Vries

René Descartes
Je pense, donc je suis.
Walter de la Mare
Oh, no man knows
