An exquisite invention this, Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,
This art of writing billet-doux
In buds, and odors, and bright hues! In saying all one feels and thinks In clever daffodils and pinks; In puns of tulips; and in phrases, Charming for their truth, of daisies.

Promiscuities of bed and board and road;
The one assured treasure
A life, in recollection, truly possessed.

Our fondest memories soon turn to poison
And only oblivion remains in season.

uncomplicated things
Dignities Quotes : pic 000550356
She once used me with that insolence, that in revenge I took her to pieces; sifted her, and separated her failings; I studied 'em, and got 'em by rote. The catalogue was so large, that I was not without hopes, one day or other to hate her heartily.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000795958
In isolation I ruthlessly plow the deep silences, seeking my opportunities like a miner seeking veins of treasures. In what shallow glimmering space shall I find what glimmering glory?

Of landscapes drawn in pearly monotones.

Dignities Quotes : pic 000109739
You fight dandelions all weekend, and late Monday afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity.

Dignities Quotes : pic 000675291
There are gems of wondrous brightness
Ofttimes lying at our feet,
And we pass them, walking thoughtless,
Down the busy, crowded street.

We would step more oft with care,
Lest our careless feet be treading
To the earth some jewel rare.

The nothing nothings.

Minds which never rest are subject to many digressions.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000227728
What tender force, what dignity divine, what virtue consecrating every feature; around that neck what dross are gold and pearl!
Dignities Quotes : pic 000442983
Some things are really necessaries of life in some circles, the most helpless and diseased, which in others are luxuries merely, and in others still entirely unknown.

Dignities Quotes : pic 001541548
Um, Sparrow ... did I really hear you say dagnabbit?
Dignities Quotes : pic 000724944
I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000657525
As in digging for precious metals in the mines, much earthy rubbish has first to be troublesomely handled and thrown out; so, in digging in one's soul for the fine gold of genius, much dullness and common-place is first brought to light.

Private and primitive and a bit on the funky and frightening
Dignities Quotes : pic 001584970

I mean good-nature,
are of daily use; they are the bread of mankind and staff of life.

A dainty rogue in porcelain
Dignities Quotes : pic 000796835

For Phyllis who made me put dragons in

Dignities Quotes : pic 001209205
I'm sorry to disturb you, madam,' said Nurse, 'but I thought I'd better speak to you. It's about Miss Delia's knickers' she continued, after a glance at the Vicar and a rapid decision that his cloth protected him. 'She really hasn't a pair fit to wear...
Dignities Quotes : pic 001499704
Beauties are always curious about beauties, and wits about wits.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001021834
Words. I had always loved them. I collected them, like I had collected pretty stones as a child. I liked to roll words over my tongue like a lump of molten honeycomb, savouring the sweetness, the crackle, the crunch.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000380180
A joyful soul, gratitude
Dignities Quotes : pic 001408531
My intellect, my wit - I'd forgotten I'd even possessed them, and they were dull and neglected, to be sure. But in the company of others who prized thought over action, laughter over brooding, they blossomed and sharpened. My tongue fairly tripped with sparkling phrases, insightful comments.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001117035
Constancy ... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000531017
In the daylight, order ruled, fences stood, how-do-you-do's and polite nods were the recipe. But at night, darkness rendered everything still and hush and secret. Minnie was a curator of secrets.

Dignities Quotes : pic 001158310
Understanding transformed into secret means of action is splendid, wonderful, edifying and essentially dignifying.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001838929
Vices of the time; vices of the man.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000455393
There are moods in which one feels the impulse to enter a tacit protest against too gross an appetite for pure aesthetics in this starving and sinning world. One turns half away, musingly, from certain beautiful useless things.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001215086
Give me, indulgent gods with mind serene, And guiltless heart, to range the sylvan scene, No splendid poverty, no smiling care, No well-bred hate, or servile grandeur, there.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000020831
They made me think of long-forgotten conflicts and compromises between the imagination and the will, reason and feeling, power and sensuality; together with many more specifically personal sensations, experienced in the past, of pleasure and of pain.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000636066
The Fellow of No Delicacy XIV. The Honest Tradesman XV. Knitting XVI. Still Knitting XVII. One Night XVIII. Nine
Dignities Quotes : pic 001542843
This nice and subtle happiness of reading, this joy not chilled by age, this polite and unpunished vice, this selfish, serene life-long intoxication.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001833500
Cheap matter offered they to boyish wit,
Dignities Quotes : pic 000439847
Beauty has long since disappeared. It has slipped beneath the surface of the noise, the noise of words, sunk deep as Atlantis. The only thing left of it is the word, whose meaning loses clarity from year to year.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000080519
Deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us; but they are gone.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000012706
O, sir, I will not be so hard-hearted. I will give out divers schedules of my beauty. It shall be inventoried, and every particle and utensil labeled to my will: as, item, two lips indifferent red; item, two grey eyes, with lids to them; item, one neck, one chin, and so forth.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000122319

Dignities Quotes : pic 001504489
Fond of those hives where folly reigns,
And cards and scandal are the chains,
Where the pert virgin slights a name,
And scorns to redden into shame.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000014586
A soft word pacifies anger, and the discordant words break the harmony of the cosmic diapason, and generate disorders ...
Dignities Quotes : pic 001394712
A woman could do a lot of crazy things for a pair of fine-looking dimples.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001025095

The beauty and meaningfulness of an ordinary life.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001551522
Spirals.... this town is contaminated with spirals.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001691363
Magnificence is likewise a source of the sublime. A great profusion of things which are splendid or valuable in themselves is magnificent. The starry heaven, though it occurs so very frequently to our view, never fails to excite an idea of grandeur.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001637480
Paines to get, care to keep, feare to lose.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000383908
There are disappointments which wring us, and there are those which inflict a wound whose mark we bear to our graves. Such are so keen that no future gratification of the same desire can ever obliterate them: they become registered as a permanent loss of happiness.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000130269
Secrets...were cancers. Secrets festered. Secrets ate away at your innards, leaving behind nothing but a flimsy husk.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000569458
There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000434512
The dewy night unrolls a heaven thickly jewelled with sparkling stars
Dignities Quotes : pic 000580855
Page after page, advert after advert. Lipsticks, undies, tinned food, patent medicines, slimming cures, face-creams. A sort of cross-section of the money world. A panorama of ignorance, greed, vulgarity, snobbishness, whoredom and disease.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001165300
Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000672160
When in doubt, you face the possibility of deception.. when you are decieved, you face the possibility of diversion... when you are diverted, you face the possibility of disobedience...and these are the D's to every man's Defeat.

Dignities Quotes : pic 001235132
the sapphire depth
of my own love...startles
and warms
and wounds my soul.
Dignities Quotes : pic 000582339
Pornographers subvert this last, vital privacy; they do our imagining for us. They take away the words that were of the night and shout them over the roof-tops, making them hollow.
Dignities Quotes : pic 001628105
detours in the road. Because without them, this life
Dignities Quotes : pic 000905988
Never were finer snares for womens' honesties
Than are devis'd in these days ; no spider's web's
Made of a daintier thread, than are now practis'd
To catch love's flesh-fly by the silver wing
