Here are a few quotes I came across recently. I like 'em,
'Earth, old man of the planets,
you suck at my foot which wants to fly.'
Nelly Sachs(Swedish poet and playwright)
'No wise man ever wished to be younger.'
Dean Jonathan Swift(Irish satirist, essayist and poet)
'Brevity is the sister of talent.'
Anton Chekhov(Russian playwright and doctor)
