“The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.”

How else should end this life of mine?”
