Quotes (763)
But, HERE, is probably my ALL-TIME favorite "quote" (although I'll cheat, a little bit, by writing it the way "I" would have said it). It comes from (Baron) Lord (Thomas Babbington) Macauley's "Lays of Ancient Rome". And is attributed to "Horatius" (and is sometimes denoted as "Horatius, at the gate").
MY version of these famous words go
"For how can men die better
Than when facing fearful odds
For the ashes of their fathers
And the temples of their gods"
You can get a verbatim transcript on the net, no problem, if those words inspire any "interest" in you. Just type "Lays of Abcient Rome" in your search window.

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that
without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.”
Pearl S. Buck
