George William Russell

We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what we hate. ”

We realise that natural aptitudes are not interchangeable, and each person must, of biological or spiritual necessity, practise the art for which he is fitted. ”

Our hearts were drunk with a beauty Our eyes could never see. ”

You can't evoke great spirits and eat plums at the same time. ”

We have the universe to roam in in imagination. It is our virtue to be infinitely varied. The worst tyranny is uniformity. ”

We have control over the work of our hands, but little over the working of the soul. But yet we must yield to it, for without it we have nothing. ”
