Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light ....

I must have heard about this poem by Dylan Marlais Thomas before but ever since I heard these lines in the movie, Dangerous Minds, last Friday, these lines have been percolating in my head... You can read more poems by the famous Welsh poet here and here.

Oscar Wilde

Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us - poet & playright Oscar Wilde

Wilde said a lot of witty and intelligent things and I could quote him daily for a year and still not exhaust the quotable quotes!

Scott Adams

People can often tell the difference between a run-of-the-mill "GOOD" idea and a bad idea. But GREAT ideas often look identical to stupid ones right up until the moment they work.Scott Adams of Dilbert fame.

Coleridge

All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of love,
And feed his sacred flame.


- Love by Samuel T. Coleridge (Prefaced in Preludes 1921-1922 by John Drinkwater)
