Bryan Procter

Where are Shakespeare's imagination, Bacon's learning, Galileo's dream? Where is the sweet fancy of Sidney, the airy spirit of Fletcher, and Milton's thought severe?

I am content to believe that the mind of man survives, somehow or other, his clay.

Some people forget too that you're supposed to stop sleeping, you're supposed to have a life in the sun.
