1 " Consider--We are bornNot with purpose,But with potential. "
― Octavia E. Butler , Parable of the Talents (Earthseed, #2)
2 " We look before and after, And pine for what is not:Our sincerest laughterWith some pain is fraught;Our sweetest songs are those that tell Of saddest thought.Yet if we could scornHate, and pride, and fear;If we were things bornNot to shed a tear,I know not how thy joy we everShould come near. "
― Percy Bysshe Shelley , The Skylark and Adonais - With Other Poems
