Maybe I shouldn't. Oh well, what the hell, it's Valentine Day in the States. A poem by ee cummings...
the boys i mean are not refined
just kidding. I mean...
since feeling is first
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis

Proposition:
Just your favorite phrase,sentence,line of the moment. From a book, proze or poetry.
From a newspaper,magazine,the street,whatever. Past present or future. With the source it came from. No limit of date or contributions. No prizes to be won but to be among other people's favorite phrases.
Maybe this has been done before, but favorite lines change with time.
Looks like one worth resurrecting for the reason given in the last line above...
My favourite 'of the moment' is
"When all is said and done, more is said than done"
I think it's by the prolific Anon

OP > "When all is said and done, more is said than done"
Nice to revisit this thread that obviously ended on a Valentine's day.
Mine for now is a phrase of many words:
"We are not living in a world where all roads are radii of a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre; rather in a world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each of those into two again, and at each fork you must make a decision."
C.S. Lewis
