"Let me go: take back thy gift:Why should a man desire in any wayTo vary from the kindly race of men,Or pass beyond the goal of ordinanceWhere all should pause, as is most meet for all?...Why wilt thou ever scare me with thy tears,And make me tremble lest a saying learnt,In days far-off, on that dark earth, be true?‘The Gods themselves cannot recall their gifts.’- Tithonus"
"Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world."
"Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'"
"Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers."
"I remainMistress of mine own self and mine own soul"
