�I have said that poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.�
- William Wordsworth (1770 � 1850), English poet: �Lyrical Ballads�, preface 2nd ed., 1800.
�I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.�
- Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727), English mathematician, philosopher: �Memoirs of Newton�, vol. 2, ch. 27 (ed. by David Brewster, 1855).
�You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizons. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about.�
- Ethel Barrymore (1879 - 1959), American actress.
