It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

What boots it that a momentary flame Shoots from the ashes of a dying fire? We gaze upon the hearth from whence it came, And know the exhausted embers must expire: Therefore no pity, or my heart will break; Be cold, be careless--for thy past love's sake!

Roots creep under the ground to make a firm foundation. Shoots seems new and small, but to reach the light they can break through brick walls.

Nature is one great big wood-chipper. Sooner or later, everything shoots out the other end in a spray of blood, bones and hair.

He's a man who shoots from the hip. And a man who's hip when he shoots.

If I ever marry it will be on a sudden impulse, as a man shoots himself.
