Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.

-T.S. Eliot 


Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
-Ernest Hemingway

I honestly believe there is no truer saying than ignorance is bliss.
