"XXVIII "Truth," said a traveller, "Is a rock, a mighty fortress; "Often have I been to it, "Even to its highest tower, "From whence the world looks black." "Truth," said a traveller, "Is a breath, a wind, "A shadow, a phantom; "Long have I pursued it, "But never have I touched "The hem of its garment." And I believed the second traveller; For truth was to me A breath, a wind, A shadow, a phantom, And never had I touched The hem of its garment."

The word wait seems to me to be terribly important.”

“Spring and Fall: To a Young Child MÃ¡rgarÃ©t, are you grÃeving Over Goldengrove unleaving? LeÃ¡ves, lÃke the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! Ã¡s the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you wÃll weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: SÃ³rrow's sprÃngs Ã¡re the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It Ãs the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for.”
“I wanted to be a doctor, but my mom was like "It's really hard and it's going to take 10 years, so I was like "OK, I'll just be a lawyer."”
