William Blake Quotes
X X X
Of coldest crimson
X X X X X
O rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm.
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Marilyn Ferguson Quotes
"Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them."-Marilyn Ferguson
Henry David Thoreau Quotes
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things." -Henry David Thoreau, Walden, chapter 1 "Economy"
Marcus Tullius Cicero Quotes
"It is certain that memory contains not only philosophy, but all the arts and all that appertain to the use of life." (Memoria certe non modo Philosophiam sed omnis / vitae usum, omnesque artes, una maxime continet) -Marcus Tullius Cicero, Acad., ii. 7.
