Quotes: „That Girl will learn love though she do it against her will.“ „it is wrong To play a funeral song In the Musicians‘ House - It simply would not be decorous.“ „Atthis, you looked at what I was And hated what you saw And now, in all flutter, chase After Andromeda.“ „Some call ships, infantry or horsemen The greatest beauty earth can offer; I say it is what a person Most lusts after.“ „A ripe red apple grows, the highest of them all, Over the treetop, way up on a tapering spray, But apple-gatherers never see it - no, Rather, they do see it is far away, Beyond their reach, impossible. This matter stands just so.“ „Either I have slipped out of your head Or you adore some fellow more, instead.“ „I declare That later on, Even in an age unlike our own, Someone will remember who we are.“
