Remember?

and beware.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon, too soon—before life itself.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“It is wonderful when a calculation is made, how little the mind is actually employed in the discharge of any profession.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
