Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment. - Carl Sandburg

Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

Revolt and terror pay a price.
Order and law have a cost.

HAPPINESS I ASKED the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness. And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men. They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Desplaines river And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their women and children and a keg of beer and an accordion.
