Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been... - Carl Sandburg

"Gather the stars if you wish it soGather the songs and keep them.Gather the faces of women.Gather for keeping years and years.And then...Loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye.Let the stars and songs go.Let the faces and years go.Loosen your hands and say good-bye."

"Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

"Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits."

"A baby is God's opinion that life should go on."

"Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you."
