Quote:Wisdom from Doctor Who

DOCTOR [to LANG]: Don’t be smug with me. Now, I’ve already explained my condition. I may be behaving like a manic barometer, but don’t shrug off help when it’s offered. You can’t afford to.

LANG: I thank you for your offer, Doctor, but frankly, I find you unreliable.

DOCTOR: So’s most currency. Doesn’t stop people spending money wisely.
-Doctor Who episode “The Twin Dilemma”

Leisure by W. H. Davies

 

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—

No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
