Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

...I'm looking for the face I had, before the world was made...

I am still of [the] opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood — sex and the dead.

Bow down, archangels, in your dim abode:
Before you were, or any hearts to beat,
Weary and kind one lingered by His seat;
He made the world to be a grassy road
Before her wandering feet.

I think that a fierce woman's better, a woman That breaks away when you have thought her won, For I'd be fed and hungry at one time. - William Butler Yeats
