William Butler Yeats Quotes

So long as all is ordered for attack, and that alone, leaders will instinctively increase the number of enemies that they may give their followers something to do Picture Quote #1

It is one of the great troubles of life that we cannot have any unmixed emotions. There is always something in our enemy that we like, and something in our sweetheart that we dislike Picture Quote #1

Life is a journey up a spiral staircase; as we grow older we cover the ground covered we have covered before, only higher up; as we look down the winding stair below us we measure our progress by the number of places where we were but no longer are. The journey is both repetitious and progressive; we go both round and upward Picture Quote #1

The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I too have woven my garment like another, but I shall try to keep warm in it, and shall be well content if it do not unbecome me Picture Quote #1

I believe when I am in the mood that all nature is full of people whom we cannot see, and that some of these are ugly or grotesque, and some wicked or foolish, but very many beautiful beyond any one we have ever seen, and that these are not far away... the simple of all times and the wise men of ancient times have seen them and even spoken to them Picture Quote #1

We all to some extent meet again and again the same people and certainly in some cases form a kind of family of two or three or more persons who come together life after life until all passionate relations are exhausted, the child of one life the husband, wife, brother, sister of the next. Sometimes, however, a single relationship will repeat itself, turning its revolving wheel again and again Picture Quote #1

We had fed the heart on fantasies, the heart’s grown brutal from the fare; Picture Quote #1

Come let us mock at the wise; With all those calendars whereon they fixed old aching eyes, they never saw how seasons run, and now but gape at the sun Picture Quote #1

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind, run on the top of the dishevelled tide, and dance upon the mountains like a flame Picture Quote #1

Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry Picture Quote #1

A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains all that man is, all mere complexities, the fury and the mire of human veins Picture Quote #1
