Ok, let's see, I'll put some of my favorite quotations that shaped me into what I am today, and some of mine. I know mines are not that good, hehe.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would kindly and forgivingly take him by the had and lead him to a quiet place to kill him"
Mark Twain

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear: Seeing that Death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come."
William Shaespeare from his play Julius Caesar

"From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were - I have not seen
As others saw - I could not bring
My passions from a common spring-"
Edgar Allan Poe, 'Alone'

"What is history, but a fable agreed upon?"
Napoleon

Now mine:

"Be afraid of Death, but don't be scared of her"

"Your breath is my air. Your tears are my water. Your eyes are my light. Your laughter is my music. Your touch is my warmth" with passion. to the love of my life

"The thing that common people call poetry comes easily to me. The eternally more beautiful true poetry Always escapes from my grasp. But, just like a woman, I wouldn't love her If she was easy to get"

"Poetry is not about Truth
It's about Beauty
Beauty is eternally better than Truth
Truth derives from Beauty
There are infinite Beauties to one's eye
That are not Truth
But there's only one Truth
To one eye
And it's only one
Of the infinite Beauties"

"I will never die
My livfe will forever
Echo in eternity" (that's my epitaph)

And, wow, I 'm just talking and talking. I'll just leave it like that, I don't want to bore you with everything I write.
If you like it, thanks for your time; if you didn't, I'm sorry to have wasted it. So, I guess, I'll just be quiet for now
