—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

“Beauty for some provides escape,
Who gain a happiness in eyeing
The gorgeous buttocks of the ape
Or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Shall gods be said to thump the clouds
When clouds are cursed by thunder,
Be said to weep when weather howls?”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
