"Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it."

"Yet the ivory gods, And the ebony gods, And the gods of diamond-jade, Are only silly puppet gods That people themselves Have made.-"

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."

"I went down to the river,I set down on the bank.I tried to think but couldn't,So I jumped in and sank."

"I've known rivers:I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.My soul has grown deep like the rivers."
