O Pardon Me Thou Bleeding Piece Of Earth That I Am

“Suffer love! A good ephitet! I do suffer love indeed, for I love thee against my will.”

“Odiaría morir dos veces, sería tan aburrido!.”

“There is a certain right by which we many deprive a man of life, but none by which we may deprive him of death; this is mere cruelty.”

“I believe that if one man were to live out his life fully and completely, were to give form to every feeling, expression to every thought, reality to every dream - I believe that the world would gain such a fresh impulse of joy that we would forget all the maladies of medievalism, and return to the Hellenic ideal - to something finer, richer, than the Hellenic ideal, it may be. But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives. We are punished for our refusals.”

“[M]ake death proud to take us.”

“If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Prick love for pricking and you beat love down.”
