I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
T.S. Eliot
A collection of quotes, run by Gillian
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
I accept reality and dare not question it.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death.
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
I imagine that yes is the only living thing.
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.
Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
