A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness. -
Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. -
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortes when with eagle eyes
He stared at the Pacific - and all his men
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise-
Silent upon the peak in Darien.

To Autumn: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. -
We read fine things but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the author. -
Poetry should please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost as a remembrance. -
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. -
