All empty souls tend toward extreme opinions.
It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class. I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says there is no wisdom without leisure.
I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood - sex and the dead.
I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind, I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer's had, But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind; I ran, I ran, from my love's side because my Heart went mad.
When we are high and airy hundreds say That if we hold that flight they'll leave the place, While those same hundreds mock another day Because we have made our art of common things.

O heart, be at peace, because Nor knave nor dolt can break What's not for their applause, Being for a woman's sake.
