“Dark-heaving; boundless, endless, and sublime,
The image of Eternity,—the throne
Of the Invisible!”

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“Our party’s most outstanding mediocrity.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
“Any artist should be grateful for a naïve grace which puts him beyond the need to reason elaborately.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
