"Can a man really surrender his will to God without, paradoxically, a monumental effort of his own will?" --D

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"It's not my fault that I have better walking impliments than you."
my dear girl, love is not love when it is bandied about with such wanton ease
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.
