Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
the whole boatload of sensitive!

That one's quite good!
I was torn between that and
"... I love thee best, O most best!"
For some reason it appeals to me and i'm often shouting it at people for no reason. I also enjoy:
"Your noble son is mad!"
and of course:
"...he is mad, 'tis true: 'tis true, 'tis pitty; And pitty 'tis 'tis true..."
"Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them."
-Eeyore.

"The whole world sees me as just one person, I want just one person to see me as the whole world."
I like this, so beautiful.
I do not know how to distinguish between our walking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?
---- Thoreau
“This recommendation of steadiness and uniformity does not proceed from an opinion, that particular combinations of letters have much influence on human happiness; or that truth may not be successfully taught by modes of spelling fanciful and erroneous: I am not yet so lost in lexicography, as to forget that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are the sons of heaven.”
—[from Samuel Johnson's Preface to his A Dictionary of the English Language (1755)]

The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

I second the sentiment of this being a keeper!
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

" Man is a mystery if you spend your life trying to puzzle it out , then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery because I want to be a man"
said in the brothers karamazov that dostoevsky as an 18 year old wrote these words to his brother.
Is there any specific place that Mark Twain said that first one about? Just curious. I'm a very distant cousin of his. I have never come across that quote of his before. Some places from my own life come to mind though...
