For what but eye and ear silence the mind With the minute particulars of mankind? (William Butler Yeats Quotes)
Though I have many words, What woman’s satisfied, I am no longer faint Because at her side? O who could have foretold That the heart grows old? (William Butler Yeats Quotes)
What man does not understand, he fears; and what he fears, he tends to destroy (William Butler Yeats Quotes)
