Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.
You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
If you don't know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.
Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil "Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too."
The only certain freedom's in departure.
You know how cunningly mankind is planned: We have one loving and one hating hand. The loving's made to hold each other like, While with the hating other hand we strike.

As a confirmed astronomer I'm always for a better sky.
