James Russell Lowell

The surest plan to make a man is, think him so.

The greatest homage we can pay to truth, is to use it.

The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.

The weird thing about grief, for me at least, was when each of my parents died, for a year or two afterwards I was pretty wildly brave - just willing to take life on.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
