Learning makes wise, but does not make happy.
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
The stars shall fade away, the sun himself grow dim with age, and nature sink in years; but thou shalt flourish in immortal youth.
