A woman\'s face with nature\'s own hand painted,

Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;

A woman\'s gentle heart, but not acquainted

With shifting change, as is false women\'s fashion:

An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,

Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;

A man in hue all \'hues\' in his controlling,

Which steals men\'s eyes and women\'s souls amazeth.

And for a woman wert thou first created;

Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,

And by addition me of thee defeated,

By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.

  But since she prick\'d thee out for women\'s pleasure,

  Mine be thy love and thy love\'s use their treasure.

 	--William Shakespeare

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We can\'t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when
we created them. --Albert Einstein
