Quotes

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat. They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon.
There was an old man with a beard, who said: 'It is just as I feared! Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren have all built their nests in my beard.

The paradox of Edward Lear, a man of sadness and gaiety, rigour and nonsense.

Quotes

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.

‘I have seen to be most effectual, the rest of the treatment being open air during the greater part of the day…’

Quotes

The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.
Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been; I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell.
I have been here before, But when or how I cannot tell: I know the grass beyond the door, The sweet keen smell, The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
