Quotes

  • To search and seek among the outer bounds,And when we land upon a distant shore,To seek another yet farther still.
  • The songs of the dead are the lamentations of the living.
  • When you can have anything you want by uttering a few words, the goal matters not, only the journey to it.
  • No-one can function properly without occasional peace and quiet.
  • So tell me, is it true that men have ten toes, as is said?
