It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Soar, eat ether, see what has never been seen; depart, be lost, but climb.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, "A Few Figs from Thistles", 1920
Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Letters, 1952
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart. Edna
I am glad that I paid so little attention to good
advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most
valuable mistakes.
I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year
If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - so much is true.
Not truth, but faith, it is that keeps the world alive.
Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world - it is thin.
The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.
The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.
What the customer demands is last year's model,
cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.
