courage is being scared to death, and saddling up anyway

but here by the mill the castled clouds
mocked themselves in the dizzy water...

the brain is wider than the sky

though outwardly a gloomy shroud,
the inner half of every cloud
is bright and shining:
i therefore turn my clouds about
and always wear them inside out
to show the lining
 - from: the wisdom of folly

all men are equal before fish

be obscure clearly

life is hard. after all it kills you

weather forecast for tonight : dark

if plan A fails, turn to another letter of the alphabet

i hope you love birds too. it is economical. it saves going to heaven

the only thing about perseverance is keeping at it

i'm nobody. who are you?

do i contradict myself?
very well then i contradict myself,
(i am large, i contain multitudes.)
 - from: song of myself
