More Quotes from William Butler Yeats:
The mystical life is the centre of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write.... I have always considered myself a voice of what I believe to be a greater renaissance the revolt of the soul against the intellect.William Butler Yeats
If I make the lashes darkAnd the eyes more brightAnd the lips more scarlet,Or ask if all be rightFrom mirror after mirror,No vanity's displayedI'm looking for the face I hadBefore the world was made.

Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire.
William Butler Yeats

You may argue against it but you should no more treat it with disrespect than a perfectly cultivated writer would treat (say) the Catholic Church or the Church of Luther no matter how much he disliked them.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
Think like a wise man but express yourself like the common people.

Richard Wright
Allah will help him who moves in the way of Allah.
