Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you.

Every atom of your flesh is dear to me as my own: In pain and sickness it would still be dear

One day I will find the right words, and they all will be simple

All we can know is that we know nothing. And that’s the height of human wisdom

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after

There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for
