"Lord, I do fear 
Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year! 
My soul is all but out of me, -- let fall 
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call!"

"Counting the beats, 
Counting the slow heart beats, 
The bleeding to death of time 
In slow heart beats, 
Wakeful they lie."

"Hope is the thing with feathers 
that perches in the soul."

"Because I could not stop for Death, 
He kindly stopped for me; 
The carriage held but just ourselves 
And Immortality. 
We slowly drove, he knew no haste, 
And I had put away 
My labor, and my leisure too, 
For his civility."             
We passed the school where children played 
At wrestling in a ring; 
We passed the fields of grazing grain, 
We passed the setting sun."

"Look, if she were just fun... just some sort of diversion... maybe I could justify it. But the worst part is that it's becoming more.  Much more.  It's embarrassing how much I like her.  She gets to me.  She affects me...And she's gonna be gone and... I'm not sure I can... I mean... I already think about her all the time...Her smile kills me... and the thought... that it'll be gone...forever... that I'll never see her again... I don't how... I can't -- I don't think I'm that strong, Johnny.  It's too much.  I'd rather have it be over... over now.  I'll start missing her now."

"It's not! It's adult! It's revenge!  And if you think it's bad not knowing what I did -- well, it's even worse knowing exactly what you did!"

"It may be, when my heart is dull, 
Having attained its girth, 
I shall not find so beautiful 
The meagre shapes of earth, 
Nor linger in the rain to mark 
The small of tansy through the dark."

"Now I know why you hurt so many women.  Because you always knew if you held    on to one of them, you'd never let go."

"When we met, I was so lonely.  But I didn't even know it. I'd been alone so long.. almost forever..."

"Time cannot break the bird's wing 
from the bird. Bird and wing together 
Go down, one feather.  No thing that 
ever flew, not the lark, not you, 
Can die as others do."
