When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concerns, poetry reminds him of the diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses (John. F. Kennedy, US president).
"When I read about the hazards of drinking, I gave up reading."--Youngman
My life will became full of gloom without you
I self destruct every relationship for you
If u will leave me you will destruct my life!!!!!

Gilda: Got a light?
Uncle Pio: Yes, Mrs. Mundson. It is so crowded here and yet so lonely.
Gilda: How did you know?
Uncle Pio: You smoke too much. I noticed only frustrated people smoke too much and only the lonely people are frustrated.
- Gilda, starring Rita Hayworth
"And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of."
-W. Shakespeare
"When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind oppresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress."
"Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none."
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form."
-Albert Einstein

I have a rock garden,last week three of them died.
I exist as I am, that is enough. If no other in the world be aware I sit content. And if each and all be aware I sit content.
- Walt Whitman
Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.
I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability

"We pass we pass since all must pass
Often I'll be returning."
-Apollinaire
This translation catches the beautiful sound and poetry of the French original, but I'm posting a more direct translation just for the little changes in meaning (nothing too serious, although there is a difference), if anyone is interested:
"Let's pass let's pass since all passes
Often I will turn around."
Another one:
"...but the small children will laugh at you!" -Diderot (pretty funny expression he used -his own character in Rameau's nephew - to tell someone he was ridiculous)
"... and I, seeing them, put my hands on my ribs, and burst in laughter; because the mad and the fool make fun of one another." -Diderot (same book, Rameau's nephew tells of an embarrassing circumstance where everyone around started laughing at him)
"The death of dogma is the birth of morality." - Kant
