“What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.”
George Bernard Shaw
“I can resist anything but temptation.”
Oscar WildeSlide11
O brawling love, O loving hate,
O anything of nothing first created!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen chaos of well-meaning forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health,
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
--Romeo
Are these paradoxes or
oxymorons
