    Experience cannot be transferred. We may give wise advice, but we cannot give wisdom to follow it.
    H., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 230-3 (May 1828)

    As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
    Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
    To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
    Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
    And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
    The final relation, the marriage of the rest.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    She came out on the stage in yards of pearls, emerging like
    a favorite scenic view, flashed her golden smile and sang.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    Your soul ... is a dark forest. But the trees are of a particular species, they are genealogical trees.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    I am about courting a girl I have had but little acquaintance with. How shall I come to a knowledge of her faults, and whether she has the virtues I imagine she has?
    Answer. Commend her among her female acquaintances.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
    Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
