The common hillflowers wither, but they blossom again. The laburnum will be as yellow next June as it is now. In a month there will be purple stars on the clematis, and year after year the green night of its leaves will hold its purple stars. But we never get back our youth. The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty, becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to...Youth! Youth! There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth.
from the book "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde

in Quotes & Aphorisms (Wisdom)
We hear a lot of beauty that is in the certainty; it seems that you ignore the more subtle beauty that is in doubt. Believing is very monotonous, the doubt is deeply passionate Being wary, there's life; being lulled into tranquility, there's death.
