Recession is when a neighbour loses his job. Depression is when you lose
yours.

We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not
by how many are added.

Love is too young to know what conscience is,
Yet who knows not conscience is born of love?
Then, gentle cheater, urge not my amiss,
Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove:
For, thou betraying me, I do betray
My nobler part to my gross body's treason;
My soul doth tell my body that he may
Triumph in love; flesh stays no farther reason,
But rising at thy name doth point out thee,
As his triumphant prize. Proud of this pride,
He is contented thy poor drudge to be,
To stand in thy affairs, fall by thy side.
No want of conscience hold it that I call
Her 'love,' for whose dear love I rise and fall.
--William Shakespeare
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an
escape
from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from
these things.
T. S. Eliot
